Efforts to erase Black voting power in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act are immoral. How do we fight against it? “We are going to stand up in solidarity with the minority communities being targeted,” Marc Elias said. “We are going to stand up and call out every miscitation, every abuse of this case for other purposes.”

We need more voices speaking up to fight against the demolition of democracy in our country, Marc Elias says. “This is rolling back the foundation of what made America possibly a democracy, beginning in the 1960s. And yet, in most corners, there’s silence.”

In this election cycle, courts have been used more to restrict voting rights than to expand them, Marc Elias says. “We need more people to be in this fight.” Help us stand up for democracy across the country:

Virginians don’t like being lied to. We don’t like gerrymandering. And we certainly don’t like partisan power grabs that silence the voices of millions. Virginia, join me in voting NO on the Spanberger gerrymander by April 21.

Democracy has always been under attack in our country, Marc E. Elias says. Now is not the time to back down. Now is the time to fight back. “If we give up now, if we just lose hope, then we are doing Donald Trump’s bidding.”

Marc Elias knew Trump wouldn’t accept the results of the election in 2020. If he and the GOP lose the midterm elections in 2026, we will see him refuse to accept the results once again. “Donald Trump doesn’t want to give up power,” Marc E. Elias says.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees the power to set the time, place and manner of elections to the states. But the Trump administration wants to punish the states that don’t comply with the regime. “This is an all-out assault on free and fair elections,” Marc Elias says. Help us fight back:

Every last word of what Marc Elias says about fighting Texas’ plan for illegal gerrymandering, but especially this part💥 “It is time we all fight hard… If the Republicans say they’re going to gain five seats in Texas, I say we gain 30 seats in New York, California, and Virginia… in Colorado.”

The Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, allowing states to now systematically dilute the power of Black and Brown voters through gerrymandering. This is discriminatory and echoes back to the racist history of this country. We cannot give up on this fight.

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Voting Rights Act is supercharging President Trump's effort to redraw districts and try to create a permanent Republican majority. We must ban partisan gerrymandering and restore the Voting Rights Act.

Get big money out of politics, reverse Citizens United, end gerrymandering, and set term limits. That's how we begin to return power to the people.

When politicians redraw maps to silence Black voices and weaken our voting power, we have a duty to call it what it is! Gerrymandering has long been used as a weapon against representation and equality. Our democracy cannot survive when power fears FAIR participation! ✊🏿

🇪🇺 HUGE! Ursula DECLARES the European Union will move away from Unanimous Voting. "We need to use the momentum of the Hungarian elections, to push for qualified majority voting!" Smaller states have lost their voting power in the European Union!

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow states to count ballots that are postmarked by Election Day is a big victory. But there’s more work to do, Marc Elias says. Want to be part of the movement to protect American democracy? We can help with that:
