	"description": "The right to vote and the right to fair representation are under direct attack. The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais has cleared the way for politicians to dismantle districts where Black voters and other communities of color can elect candidates who represent them. Legislatures across the South are already pursuing new maps designed to dilute the power of voters of color and manipulate control of Congress. These attacks continue a decades-long campaign against the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court weakened the law’s federal oversight protections in Shelby County v. Holder. Its right-wing majority has now placed additional protections against racial vote dilution in jeopardy, threatening decades of progress toward a democracy where every community receives fair representation. Leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus have introduced a resolution calling on Congress to meet this crisis with action. The resolution calls for legislation to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act, end racial discrimination in voting and representation, and guarantee every eligible voter’s ability to participate. It also calls for eliminating the Senate’s 60-vote threshold during the next pro-democracy governing moment so a minority of senators can no longer bury voting rights legislation. The resolution further demands structural reform of the Supreme Court. Potential reforms include a binding ethics code, term limits, and expanding the Court. These changes are essential because voting rights legislation will remain vulnerable while an unaccountable right-wing majority continues using the Court to advance the agenda of wealthy donors and partisan operatives. Racial justice depends on political power. When communities lose representation, lawmakers can ignore their demands for quality public schools, affordable housing, economic opportunity, health care, clean air and water, and safety from state violence.
