The same court that ordered AL to redraw its district map has now contradicted itself by spitting on the Voting Rights Act. Black activists didn't fight and die for this act in the 1960s to be thrown away in 2026.

Want to watch your voting rights evaporate? The Alabama House Ways and Means Committee will vote on HB1 this morning. It allows Alabama to delay the primary scheduled for May 19 so they can redistrict/gerrymander if the Supreme Court allows it. Livestream at 9:30 share.google/WjtfeKwFkl4Z...

Alabama Trans Rights Action Coalition@altrac.works · 6mo ago

Another year, another bad bill in Alabama. House Bill 23 has been proposed; if passed, it would extend “Don’t Say Gay” through the 12th grade. Sound familiar? Let’s remind our representatives that Alabamians don’t want bills like this. We’ll help you make your voice heard: ALTRAC.works?source=bsky
