NOW Condemns SCOTUS Ruling in Louisiana v. Callais

The Trump Supreme Court has given a green light to race discrimination and leaves communities without the most effective weapon they've had to ensure they have fair representation by striking down Louisiana's congressional map.

With this ruling, the Court leaves the Voting Rights Act a pale echo of what civil rights heroes like Fannie Lou Hamer and Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray fought to protect for future generations. The Supreme Court majority has struck another blow against democracy.
