Subject: This could mean the end of free and fair elections

Team,

I founded Fair Fight Action with Lauren Groh-Wargo so a robust grassroots group would be ready to respond to attacks on our democracy — and this month has once again shown the profound need for this work.

A couple of weeks ago, the Supreme Court uncharacteristically reheard a case: Louisiana v. Callais . This has to do with a key piece of the Voting Rights Act.

Their decision on this could reshape voting rights for generations and accelerate the authoritarian capture of American democracy by weakening our representative voting power.

Many people, if they had even heard of the case, only saw it as a technical legal dispute. That is, until a new report from Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund laid bare what’s at stake and sought to transform America’s understanding of the potential decision — exposing it for what it is, a national emergency.

They identified how the Supreme Court could gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and lock in 27 more safe Republican U.S. House seats, with at least 19 directly tied to the loss of its protections. Gerrymandering would cement single-party control for a generation — the precise outcome autocrats seek — and bring about the end of free and fair elections.

Now that Fair Fight Action has raised the alarm, they are mobilizing advocates across the country against this — and rallying a movement behind fair elections with fair maps. But they need our help to counter racially discriminatory gerrymandering and defend our democracy. Can you make a donation of $30 or any amount today to help Fair Fight Action keep up its vital work?

At the center of the Supreme Court case is Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — the last major safeguard against racially discriminatory political maps.

For decades, Section 2 has protected communities of color from maps designed to weaken their voting power. It has been the tool by which courts have continued to dismantle Jim Crow-era tactics that persist today like splitting or “packing” Black and Brown neighborhoods to dilute their voices.

Now, the conservative justices who dominate the court are considering a radical argument: that using race to correct racial discrimination is itself unconstitutional.

This reasoning, if accepted, would gut Section 2 entirely, taking the country back to a pre-1965 reality — one where racially discriminatory maps reign unchecked and single-party rule can be locked in indefinitely, rendering Congress a mirror image of the Russian Duma.

It’s chilling — and it’s critical that groups like Fair Fight Action have the resources they need to keep identifying and calling out the consequences of these attacks. Here are just a few of the hundreds of headlines from articles drawing on Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund’s analysis of the case:

POLITICO: Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling
NPR: Supreme Court hears case that questions major plank of voting rights
Democracy Docket: Fair elections — and perhaps control of Congress — at stake as SCOTUS hears challenge to VRA
USA Today: Are Black voting rights under siege at the Supreme Court?

There is a path forward. It’s narrow and clear. And Fair Fight Action needs to be able to drive it forward, including:

* Continuing to raise awareness of what’s at stake — because in an autocratic takeover, the ruling regime relies on silence.
* Calling on Congress to pass pro-democracy reforms like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
* Contacting our local leaders and state representatives to join us in demanding passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
* Challenging all elected officials, regardless of their position, to exercise their oversight authority to hold bad actors in our courts accountable.

Patriotic Americans must act boldly to reverse the authoritarian playbook. Please make a donation today to defend our democracy alongside Fair Fight Action.
