First, it was Georgia. Then Arizona. Now, the Trump Administration has demanded that Wayne County, Michigan, turn over all ballots from the 2024 election. These are flashing red warning signs of intent to interfere with the 2026 and 2028 elections. Know your rights.
I’m outraged by the SCOTUS decision weakening key voting protections and risking Black and Brown communities. As we mark 250 years of democracy, we should be expanding access to the ballot not rolling it back.
We will continue fighting for free, fair, accessible elections.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Trump’s Supreme Court just gutted the single-most important voting rights law in the country. This is a key provision of “Project 2025”, now enacted at the federal level. Absolutely disastrous day for our democracy. @DemsOfState

🚨 Chicago Public Schools will be transporting students to ANTI-TRUMP May Day rallies on Friday.
40% of CPS students are chronically absent, missing at least 18 days of school per year.
Kids belong in classrooms, NOT at taxpayer funded political rallies!
