On April 29, the Supreme Court issued a 6โ€“3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that significantly weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act โ€” one of the most important protections against racial discrimination in how congressional districts are drawn.

In this week's , CVH Deputy Director explains what happened.

This isn't just a Southern issue. This ruling sets national precedent, and districts here in New York are more vulnerable because of it.

Here's what you can do:
โœ… Make sure you're registered to vote
โœ… Contact your legislators and demand they pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act
