Missouri’s unconstitutional mid-decade redistricting carves up Kansas City, submerging metro voters into rural districts & dividing neighborhoods along racial lines. @aclu.org @aclumo.bsky.social @campaignlegal.org are suing to stop this mid-decade this power grab.

This ruling rights a historic injustice: For over a century, Mississippi’s Supreme Court district lines systematically diluted Black voting power, ensuring that in a state that’s 40% Black, only four Black justices total have ever served on the state’s highest court. @arisavitzky.bsky.social

NEW: We're suing for transparency about the federal government's use of data to target voters. Federal agencies created a nationwide citizenship database for list maintenance, but won't explain how it works or how the data is used. The public deserves to know how these programs affect voting rights.

Can’t stop, won’t stop when it comes to protecting #votingrights: Along with @nativerights.bsky.social & @aclu-mt.bsky.social, we’re challenging Chouteau County’s unfair method for electing commissioners, which deprives Native voters the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice.

Today’s win sends a powerful message that the Voting Rights Act is still a vital safeguard against racial discrimination in our democracy.

This is a historic affirmation for Black voters in Louisiana & sends a powerful msg: The VRA is still a vital safeguard against discrimination in our democracy. Grateful to our clients & incredibly proud of the @aclu.org team leading the case & co-counsel, incl ACLU LA, @legaldefensefund.bsky.social

Georgia politicians criminalized giving food and water to voters who are waiting in long lines to cast their ballot.

We were in court today fighting to maintain our block on this ridiculous rule.

Texas legislators are openly using a special session to redraw voting maps in their favor at the expense of voters of color, instead of getting disaster relief to flood victims.

This race to the bottom erodes our democracy, regardless of which party benefits.

As the VRA Act turns 60, its legacy is under siege. The heroes of Selma couldn't have imagined that 60 years later, we'd still be shoring up the pillar of democracy that they built. But they also couldn't have imagined we'd let it fall. We won't. We can't. The democracy it supports depends on it.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's 2023 congressional map discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and Constitution.

This is a win for voting rights.

Come join the fight! The @aclu.org Voting Rights Project is hiring a paralegal to join our team. Please share widely!

We won! A federal court has blocked the EAC from implementing a mandate in the president’s (anti) voting EO to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal form while the case proceeds. Huge congrats to all involved! @aclu.org @aclu-dc.bsky.social

LWVUS challenged Trumps’ anti-voter EO in court because it’s not only extreme, but is also blatantly unlawful.

Thanks to @slakin.bsky.social and @danilang-votes.bsky.social for stepping up and arguing on behalf of LWV and other plaintiffs last week.

We're in court today fighting President Trump's executive order that threatens to make it harder for millions of people to vote.

The Constitution is clear: The president doesn't have the authority to unilaterally change federal voting rules.

NEW: We're urging a court to block President Trump's executive order targeting the law firm Perkins Coie over their voting rights work.

Along with organizations across the ideological spectrum, we're fighting Trump's attacks on his perceived political enemies.

Our Constitution is clear: the President can't unilaterally change the rules governing our elections.

Requiring a birth certificate as a condition for voting imposes a needless burden on citizens, especially people of color, women, and those in rural areas, resulting in a weakened democracy.

President Trump can’t rewrite our election laws. His anti-voting EO is an unlawful power grab. Along w/ the SAVE Act, it’s part of a broader strategy to suppress votes. These measure aren’t about safeguarding our elections but silencing voters who’ll hold them accountable. We’ll see Trump in court.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order that aims to upend U.S. elections and disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

This is an extreme abuse of power — we'll see him in court.

We were in court today continuing to fight for fair state legislative maps in Georgia.

President Trump rolled back Biden’s Executive Order Promoting Access on Voting, which helped ensure eligible citizens have access to registration and voting.

The federal government has a responsibility to protect our democracy.

Feels symbolic that lifting this story is my first post on this new social media platform but it is of one with the times. We’re ready to meet the challenges to come.
