Summary
At a rally in Montgomery, activists, members of Congress, and organizers gathered to protest a recent Supreme Court decision limiting race-based congressional district drawing. Speakers, including Pastor Jamal Bryant and Angela Rye, argued this ruling silences Black voters and is an attack on Black power. They called for preserving existing districts, like those of Terri Sewell and Shomari Figures, and emphasized the importance of Black representation in Congress. The event was framed as a continuation of the Civil Rights Movement, with speakers warning of potential cuts to social programs and a larger strategy to diminish Black influence. Members of Congress from various states showed support, and the core message was a unified call to protect voting rights and maintain Black voice in politics.
