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

We’re continuing the fight to protect our voting rights and ensure our communities are fairly represented.
