Fair Fight Action

Mississippi lawmakers initiated the redistricting process following the U.S. Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, which weakened minority voting protections. The Joint Redistricting and Reapportionment Committee plans to hold eight public hearings and hire legal counsel, while voting rights activists accuse the process of aiming to dilute Black political power.

Thousands of Mississippians rallied for voting rights at the War Memorial Building auditorium, protesting the supreme court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act. The demonstration was held at a historic location where the 'Mississippi Plan' was enacted. The rally aimed to prevent racial discrimination in voting.
