  "textContent": "Civil and voting rights organizations across the South are launching a wave of rallies, trainings and grassroots mobilizations in response to the Supreme Court’s recent decision in _Louisiana v. Callais_ , which decimated one of the last meaningful protections against racially discriminatory voting maps.\n\nFrom Missouri and Mississippi, to Alabama and Louisiana, organizers are mobilizing around an escalating national assault on Black political representation and multiracial democracy itself.\n\nThe actions come amid growing fears that the Court’s ruling will make it dramatically harder for Black voters and other voters of color to challenge discriminatory district maps in federal court. Civil rights groups are calling for mass organizing and voter engagement, as well as for states to adopt their own Voting Rights Acts to help fill the vacuum left by the weakening of federal protections.\n\nUpcoming actions include rallies at the Missouri Supreme Court, a National Day of Action in Alabama featuring events at the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the Alabama State Capitol, and the nationwide “John Lewis Good Trouble Lives On” mobilization planned for July.\n\nThe post Civil Rights Groups Launch Southern Voting Rights Mobilization Following Supreme Court’s Callais Decision appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
