Today, the NAACP, alongside the NAACP Tennessee State Conference and a coalition of civil rights and community organizations, filed a federal lawsuit challenging Tennessee’s newly enacted congressional map.

The lawsuit argues the map dismantles the state’s only majority-Black district and weakens the voting power of Black Tennesseans.

“Tennessee lawmakers made a deliberate choice to silence Black voters by dismantling a district that has long ensured representation for one of the state’s largest Black populations.” Derrick Johnson
