BREAKING: SCOTUS has stayed a federal order blocking Texas’ racial gerrymander.
This decision clears the way for the map’s use in the midterms and the widespread disenfranchisement of voters of color.

This week, NRF-supported intervenors moved to join University of South Florida College Republicans v. Lutnick, a federal case brought by college Republicans seeking to overturn the 2020 Census.
This case is an attempt to ultimately conduct an unnecessary mid-decade census. https://bit.ly/47ku2aN
🚨Today the U.S. Supreme Court is re-hearing oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais.
Central to this Section case is a fundamental question about who the politicians in this country answer to and who they represent.
This should be a straightforward decision for the court—uphold Section 2 of the VRA.
A federal court has reaffirmed that the VRA must be enforced in Alabama—meaning the state must continue to have 2 Black opportunity districts.
Today’s ruling confirms what we’ve known all along: Black Alabamians have a fundamental right to *real* electoral power.
"This is a clear-cut case and it should be an easy decision for the court." — @marinakjenkins.bsky.social

The court should make Alabama’s current, Voting Rights Act (VRA)-compliant map permanent for the rest of the decade. That map, which was adopted by the lower federal court following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Allen v. Milligan, includes two Black opportunity districts.

Yesterday, a two-week trial began in Caster v. Allen, a redistricting lawsuit that will determine the fate of Alabama’s congressional map.
The NRF is calling on the district court to reject the state’s attempts to re-install a gerrymandered map that includes just one Black opportunity district.
“The conservative states behind this lawsuit are attempting to depart from the bedrock theory of the Constitution that everyone—every person—should be counted equally for the purpose of congressional apportionment.”

The case is an effort to exclude undocumented & temporary residents from apportionment & undermine the 2030 Census. The Constitution requires that “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers counting the whole number of persons in each State."

Major progress has been made in our efforts to create more representative districts
across the country. We've fought in court to defend the right to vote & protect the Voting Rights Act, expanded policy work in key battleground states, & worked to cultivate our state-of-the-art mapping tools.
Hello BlueSky 👋 We're the National Redistricting Foundation. We launched in 2017 to pursue legal challenges to gerrymandered districts. Our judicial system is often the last defense in restoring a more equitable electoral process—making litigation a crucial tool for creating fair maps.
