Emergency #LeadersMatter on Voting Rights in the South
Join Emerge for an important virtual conversation on voting rights in the South featuring Rep. Saira Draper, alongside state leaders from Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, and Louisiana. This event will focus on the impact of a recent Supreme Court decision that weakens protections for fair representation and could have serious consequences for Black voters and communities across the South.
This discussion is open to community members, advocates, supporters, and anyone concerned about the future of democracy. Attendees will hear directly from elected leaders about what this ruling means for representation, political power, and the ongoing work to protect voting rights ahead of critical upcoming elections.
