## Resource

The Supreme Court’s gutting of a key Voting Rights Act provision has ignited a new wave of faith-led activism, as churches across the country step up to register voters, guard polling places, and empower communities to run for office. Inspired by historic Civil Rights organizing, congregations are mobilizing after recent setbacks like Tennessee’s elimination of its only Black-majority district — with protest strategy meetings even beginning in Memphis churches. While some activists criticize the faith community for past inaction, others see churches as essential allies. Historically Black denominations and major congregations are launching voter drives, educational forums, and civic programs to rebuild political engagement. Leaders aim to unite communities, bridge divides, and ensure every vote counts — forging a new era of faith-driven democracy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
