Thank you to everyone who helped get out the vote in 2025! Together, we reached over 1.2 million Black voters across critical races, from the Wisconsin Supreme Court election to Virginia's primary and the general election. We can't wait to see what we'll accomplish together in 2026 🌟

What accounts for the massive uptick in voters in VA this year? "Thousands of volunteers and dozens of organizations did the slow, steady work of showing voters that their participation matters." Kudos @ctr4cmnground.bsky.social! A great partner. www.pilotonline.com/2025/12/04/c...

BREAKING: Texas can use its new, GOP friendly congressional map while a legal challenge plays out, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, temporarily pausing a lower court ruling that had blocked the map from going into effect. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/02/t...

Proud of Brandon Rivers, who runs the Charlotte Democracy Center for being a leader of this coalition: amp.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Louisiana v. Callais could strip protections for majority-Black voting districts. If Section 2 of the VRA is struck down, communities will lose political power. We are mobilizing nationwide to demand the Court protect Black voters and ensure every voice counts. https://bit.ly/4hb4zUv

carolinapublicpress.org/72172/nc-lag... “Brandon Rivers has also encountered his fair share of seemingly apathetic students in his time as executive director of the Charlotte Democracy Center, a nonpartisan organization focusing on voter education, specifically in marginalized communities.”

Gerrymandering leads to less representation for voters, less accountability for politicians, and more polarization by giving party primary voters — rather than general election voters — the loudest say. bit.ly/41wQ0Uw

53 cities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia had higher crime rates than D.C. in 2024. Despite this, these states deployed their own National Guard troops to help address D.C.'s newly declared "crime emergency." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Outdated laws from the 1700s and 1800s give the president tremendous power to use the military at home. It’s past time for Congress to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, close loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act, and reform the Insurrection Act. bit.ly/4oxXJLN

The court ruled that private individuals and organizations cannot bring lawsuits alleging violations of the Voting Rights Act. This comes right after SCOTUS paused their last decision, which would have also stopped voters from suing under the Voting Rights Act ⤵️ apnews.com/article/voti...
