🚨 Black communities are being targeted! 🚨

After the Supreme Court weakened a key part of the Voting Rights Act, Senator Marsha Blackburn is already calling for Tennessee lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional map and eliminate the Memphis-based district that protects Black political representation.

Memphis is a majority-Black city.

That means politicians are looking at this ruling and immediately asking how they can use it to weaken Black voting power.

This is the domino effect voting rights advocates warned about.

First Louisiana.

Now Tennessee.

Next could be any state where politicians see an opening to carve up Black and brown communities, dilute their votes, and call it “partisan strategy.”

🚨 THIS IS RACISM. 🚨

This is political power being stripped from communities that fought for generations to have a voice.
