Proud to support Anneshia at Alabama Values Progress as she fights for voting rights, truth-telling, and Black political power across the South.

This ‘daughter of the Deep South' is fighting for Black voting rights through storytelling After the Supreme Court's recent Voting Rights Act decision, Southern states are redrawing their voting maps to dilute Black political power. Alabama's Anneshia Hardy said ‘our ancestors left us a blueprint' to guide the battle ahead.

6 votes. That's all it took.

Last month the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais, stripping Black voters of districts they fought decades to win.

But the deeper story isn't just what the Court did. It's what we failed to build.

To protect voting rights after Callais, we need to invest in red states The deeper lesson of Callais is not just that we must fight back. It's that the people who actually live in these states have been fighting all along and all alone.

So good connecting with our friends at United Women of Color Huntsville ❤️

Today has been a great day on the ground in Birmingham, connecting with our partners who dedicate themselves to the fight for democracy every single day. We spent the day learning together, sharing ideas, and building real power. Looking forward to another day of connection, creativity, and community.
