As we celebrate 250 years of independence, we are reminded of a core truth: we do not bow. Protecting our freedom to vote can’t wait until November. It starts today, in how we show up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated. 🇺🇸 Read our full letter to America in @nytimes.com.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

Today's SCOTUS ruling on Louisiana v. Callais strips Black voters of fair representation and makes it harder for them to shape decisions about the issues that matter the most. Despite this setback, we will continue our mission to build a democracy that invites everyone in.
