Callais and the VRA: The Fight for Voting Rights

January 21 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Callais and the VRA: The Fight for Voting Rights organized by Declaration for American Democracy Coalition

About this event

Right now, the Supreme Court is considering a decision that could take away a core American freedom: the right to fair and equal representation.

This case is part of a broader push to weaken protections that have stopped politicians from drawing voting maps designed to silence Black, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Native communities.

If these protections are weakened, politicians across the country would be given a green light to rig elections by manipulating maps, making it harder for communities of color, especially across the South, to choose leaders who reflect their needs and fight for their families; from affordable housing and health care to good jobs and strong public schools, there will be immediate harms people will face.

That’s why we’re hosting a virtual call to break down what’s at stake and how people can act. This call will prepare volunteers, advocates, and concerned community members to stand up for fair representation, defend our freedom to vote, and mobilize at the local, state, and federal levels. Our voices matter, and together, we can make sure they are heard.
