Thank you to @democracydocket.com for publishing my op-ed on the GOP’s redrawing of NC’s First Congressional District!

NEW: North Carolina’s First Congressional District, a historic stronghold of Black political power, is under threat as GOP lawmakers try to redraw its lines. The new map will shift representation and silence Black North Carolinians who fought for generations to be heard, @pierce4nchouse.bsky.social.

Light-hearted, because it’s Clay, but full of stroke warning indicators.
