@RedistrictFdn has fought for VRA-compliant maps in LA and AL since our founding. We challenged both states' congressional maps in 2018, and again after 2020, leading to the Milligan win out of AL just 2 years ago. My thoughts after being at #SCOTUS today for LA vs Callais:

The VRA of 1965 established the fundamental principle that every American, regardless of race or color, has the right to vote.

At a time where racial discrimination in our elections remains pervasive, our lawmakers must recommit to the restoration of the VRA in its entirety.

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

The panel also made clear that individual voters *can* enforce the VRA, the second federal court in as many weeks to do so!

🆕⚖️Just in: The federal district court in our Alabama case rejected the state defendants’ motion to dismiss the NRF's Section 2 lawsuit—marking another crucial milestone in our fight to ensure fair representation for AL voters and to make permanent our 2023 SCOTUS victory!

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

Today marks the one-year anniversary of SCOTUS' decision in Allen v. Milligan.

We are proud to have supported the Alabama voters who sought (and secured) a new, fair, congressional map with additional Black opportunity districts.

🚨Louisiana’s new, VRA-compliant congressional map will stay in place for the 2024 elections. SCOTUS ruled on the side of the NRF-supported Galmon intervenors, and acted in accordance with Allen v. Milligan, upholding Sec. 2 of the VRA. Our full statement: https://t.co/YWJrKBgZFi

Huge victory for Black Louisianians!! Equal opportunity to fair representation has been denied them far too long — but now they’ll get it!! So proud of ⁦⁦⁦@RedistrictFdn⁩ always, but especially on days like today. https://t.co/6yXWoDxJ3A

🚨NEW👉The NRF is supporting a group of Black voters in Louisiana who are intervening in a lawsuit that aims to dismantle the new Black-opportunity district in the state's congressional map. We are committed to fighting anti-democratic forces who remain set on reversing progress.

Today, in a major victory for voters, a GA court struck down the state’s congressional and state leg. maps as violations of Section 2 of the VRA.

After initiating these challenges in 2021, we are thrilled with this giant step toward equal representation! https://t.co/MBptryuibQ

Alabama has a new, fairer congressional map that gives Black voters an equal opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice. 

This is a historic win for voting rights and democracy, and it happened thanks to the hard work of Black voters, advocates, and organizations like @RedistrictFdn.

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

For the first time in history, Alabama could have two Black Members of Congress representing the state.

We’re proud to have been part of the team behind the tenacious Alabama voters that secured this win for fair representation. https://t.co/k1D9hIgqMy

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

In spite of the shameful intransigence of Alabama Republicans, justice has finally prevailed in the state. With this new, fairer map, and for the first time ever, black voters in Alabama could have two members of Congress representing their interests. https://t.co/EhEVdK2Kgd

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

The court ordered victory today - creating a new black opportunity district for Congress in Alabama - is for my late sister in law Vivian and those other black Alabamians - here and gone - too long denied equal representation. Their commitment and sacrifice made this day possible

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

⚖️BREAKING: A federal panel in Alabama has just adopted a #FairMap that complies with SCOTUS’ order to include a second district in which Black voters can elect their candidate of choice. This is a huge victory for voting rights. We’re beyond proud to have been part of this team.

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

⚖️In another victory for Alabama voters, SCOTUS has rejected (with no noted dissents) an attempt by the state of AL to stop the remedial mapdrawing process taking place as a result of Allen v. Milligan – meaning the new map will move forward without delay. https://t.co/VIjsuiPV6K

[Redistricting Action @redistrictact]

🔔 BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Alabama's emergency motion for stay in Allen v. Milligan — that means that Alabama's desperate effort to stop the remedial mapdrawing process has thus-far been unsuccessful.

The remedial process will continue. 🗺️

[National Redistricting Foundation @RedistrictFdn]

🚨BREAKING: The court-appointed special master in the Alabama remedial map process released new proposed congressional maps. More to come tomorrow, stay tuned for updates!
