In a democracy, the voters decide. Today, the Virginia Supreme Court chose to silence them.

By overturning this measure, the Court has rejected the clear will of the people. We are exploring all legal and legislative avenues to restore the will of the voters and ensure equal representation for every American. https://naacp.org/articles/naacp-condemns-virginia-supreme-court-ruling-ignores-will-voters

This month and beyond, let’s move from awareness to action. Read this piece by Dr. Chris T. Pernell, Director of the Center for Health Equity, for more report findings and join the conversation: https://naacp.org/articles/picture-black-health
