The fight in Tennessee is bigger than one map.
Across the country, we're seeing a coordinated push to weaken Black voting power and redraw the lines of our democracy. We just joined the NAACP Tennessee State Conference, impacted voters, and co-counsels the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and LDF to file a motion to block Tennessee's newly enacted congressional map, which dismantles the state's only majority-Black district.
We're asking the court to act now, before the 2026 elections, because the harm here cannot be undone. Once ballots are cast under an unfair map, Black voters can lose representation that no ruling can give back.
"Make no mistake, what we are seeing in Tennessee and across the South is an undeniable effort to strip Black voters of their power and their voice." —@KristenClarkeJD, NAACP General Counsel naacp.org/articles/naacp-fil…

The NAACP is condemning the U.S. Supreme Court's latest decision allowing Alabama to use a congressional map previously found to be intentionally discriminatory against Black voters, warning that the ruling marks another dangerous step in the dismantling of voting rights in the state and across the country.
The Court's action follows its most recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which has triggered racial gerrymandering efforts across the South.

Today, the Alabama Federal Court rejected a new gerrymandered map, ruling that it was discriminatory to Black voters in the state. NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP had this to say:
"We applaud the Alabama Federal Court’s ruling today, preserving Black representation. Redrawing maps to silence the voices of entire communities cannot be tolerated. It goes against the very values of democracy that our ancestors fought and died for.
Our chapters in Alabama mobilized to reject this map, and we will continue to fight across the country to protect our voice. Today’s ruling is good news, but we know it is not the end of this fight."
