LISTEN UP: Civil Rights Groups Order Lawmakers To Protect Black Voters Now

The Color Of Change reports:

As conservative gerrymandering continues to slice up Black political power across the nation, civil rights leaders are done asking politely. A major coalition is calling out lawmakers who pretend to care about democracy while actively enabling voter suppression. It is time to step up or get out of the way.

Dear Lawmaker, We write to you as stakeholders in our democracy recognizing the significance of the moment we are facing and the incredible need for urgent action amongst our elected leaders. Our organizations collectively represent millions of voters nationwide who are counting on you to fight for our communities and our democracy.

Democracy isn’t a spectator sport, and politicians on notice better start acting like it. We’re keeping score.
