Juneteenth reminds us that freedom delayed is freedom denied. Today, attacks on the free press threaten that same right: the public’s right to know. NABJ honors those who fought for liberation and remains committed to protecting the journalists who carry truth forward.#Juneteenth

The Supreme Court’s opinion dismantling the Voting Rights Act conveniently uses the 2008 and 2012 elections to show that Black and white voters turn out at equal rates — the years that Barack Obama ran for president. But since then, the turnout gap has grown.

Van Jones says it’s “devastating” to see the Supreme Court weaken the Voting Rights Act: “This is the bill that John Lewis was beaten almost to death to get passed.”

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I've been thinking lately about the countless activists during the Civil Rights era who fought for the Voting Rights Act — including my friend Mickey.

He was my protector. I want to share a little bit more about what he meant to me.

Racism Is The Fabric Of 🇺🇸 Always Has & Always Will Be. They Hate Talking About It. B/c It Reminds Them Of How Evil They Really Are!! This Is What Make America Great Again Was All About!! Your President Said & I Quote “These Are The Kinda Rulings I Like” Let That Sink In. 🇺🇸

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

The decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a devastating setback in the long fight for equality in political representation for all Americans. By undermining the Voting Rights Act, the Roberts Court has dismantled the ability of voters of color to have a fair chance for representation in government. It demands an immediate congressional response.

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais gutted the Voting Rights Act and, as Justice Elena Kagan wrote in dissent, “threatens a half-century’s worth of gains in voting equality.”

Every time Viola Davis speaks it's a master class in the importance of seeing others' humanity, and uplifting those who are often overlooked and forgotten. And it's beautiful, just as she is. As she always has been.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

They marched so every citizen could have full and equal access to the ballot. They marched so that democracy would be protected by law, not weakened by neglect.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Amelia Boynton Robinson, Hosea Williams, Coretta Scott King (Founder of The King Center), John Lewis, and so many others means more than remembering their courage. It means continuing their work.

Now is the time to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act and safeguard the freedom they risked their lives to secure.
