May 16, 2026, Edmund Pettus Bridge (Selma, Alabama) voting‑rights advocates, faith leaders and activists from across the U.S. marched to oppose redistricting efforts in Republican controlled Southern states. This call to action was prompted by the U.S. Supreme Court’s April 29, 2026 decision which weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, thereby prompting Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Tennessee to redraw or consider new congressional district maps.
PAY ATTENTION!
The government is legally taking voting rights away, wiping out or severely limiting the representation of marginalized people.
61 years after Bloody Sunday at the very same Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, people are still fighting for the same rights.
IF THIS DOESN'T SCARE YOU, THEN YOU AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION!
