“Words matter, and when elected officials use racially charged language, it undermines the very fabric of our communities.”, stated President Cozy Bailey, President NAACP Virginia State Conference. “Rep. Kiggans' agreement with such comments is deeply troubling. We must hold our leaders accountable and demand a standard of respect and dignity for all Virginians.”

Today, the Virginia Supreme Court's decision to overturn the redistricting referendum—approved by 51% of the voters—represents a significant setback for democracy in our state. This ruling follows last week's dismantling of vital protections in the Voting Rights Act, revealing a disturbing trend of attacks on our electoral rights.

In response to these challenges, the NAACP successfully reached 150,000 Black voters during the "Yes" campaign, dispelling disinformation and emphasizing the importance of fair representation.

President Rev. Dr. Cozy Bailey stated, "In the face of adversity, we stand united. This ruling is not merely an attack on redistricting; it is an affront to our fundamental rights as citizens. We will not be silenced. We will rise and fight for our democracy."

We have faced challenges before and emerged stronger. This is not the end; it is a call to action. We must continue to organize, strategize, and mobilize our communities to ensure that every voice is heard and every vote counts. Our democracy demands our vigilance and our resilience.

Today’s Supreme Court decision in Louisiana vs. Callais is a direct attack on Black voters and marks a shameful moment in our democracy. This ruling opens the door to racial gerrymandering that will take us back to Jim Crow. This ruling is a betrayal of Black voters and the promise of democracy. We will not stay silent.

🎉 VIRGINIA, WE DID IT. 🎉

Today, the people of Virginia sent a clear, undeniable message: Our votes will NOT be silenced. Our voices will NOT be ignored. And our democracy will NOT be stolen.

Virginia voted YES on the Redistricting Amendment — and history will remember this day.

When they tried to redraw the maps and lock us out, we showed up ANYWAY. When they tried to limit our power, we used it. When they told us our votes didn't matter — we proved them wrong.

This victory belongs to every person who:
✅ Stood in line after a long day of work
✅ Registered same-day and cast their ballot
✅ Made phone calls, knocked on doors, and shared posts
✅ Refused to be intimidated, discouraged, or turned away

This is what community power looks like. This is what the NAACP fights for every single day.

But let this be clear — tonight we celebrate, and tomorrow we keep going. The fight for fair representation, equal justice, and true democracy does not end here. It grows stronger.

Thank you, Virginia. 💪🗳️
