Good Trouble Lives On Movement Call · John Lewis Actions

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. From anti-voter laws designed to put up barriers to voting, to threats to deploy ICE at the polls, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow era effort from politicians to restrict our freedoms and silence Black and Brown communities in order to consolidate their power. But the spirit that powered Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our collective action. Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we continue the fight for voting rights with “Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action (GTLO)" from July 17-19. Join this virtual event to learn how you can host an event and support your community in ensuring they can exercise their freedom to vote. More at https://www.goodtroubleliveson.org/

In a letter sent to >250 companies, members of the #BlackCaucus urge them to condemn the #redistricting efforts, which the lawmakers describe as “coordinated efforts to silence #Black voices at the ballot box.” Some of the #corporations had co-signed their own message to #Congress 5 years ago urging lawmakers to pass the #JohnLewis #VotingRightsAct, a Democratic proposal to restore & update the #VRA.

Congressional Black Caucus urges firms to oppose GOP redistricting

The Congressional Black Caucus is calling on major corporations in the United States to oppose redistricting efforts by Republican-led states that seek to eliminate majority-Black U.S. House districts. In a letter sent Tuesday to more than 250 companies, members of the Black Caucus urge them to condemn the redistricting efforts, which the lawmakers call attempts "to silence Black voices at the ballot box.” Several states have moved to eliminate congressional districts represented by Black Democratic lawmakers after a Supreme Court ruling last month severely weakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. President Donald Trump launched the redistricting campaign when he pushed Texas lawmakers to redraw their maps to add Republican seats.

Opinion: Poetic Justice: A love letter to Columbus – Matter News

A little over a week ago, a police officer stood in front of cameras and lied. He lied loudly into a microphone, attempting to plant evidence on my character by fabricating the cost of my suit and the brand of my shoes, all to set up a rehearsed line calling me a 'poverty pimp.'
