Black communities fought, marched, and bled for representation. That representation became law. That law became power.

Now a 6–3 Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act, and states are already moving to redraw Black communities out of power.

So we’re organizing. Mobilizing. Fighting back.

On Saturday, May 16, more than 160 organizations are coming together for a National Day of Action — from Selma to Montgomery and in cities across the country.

This is the beginning of a sustained summer of voter mobilization, civic education, legal advocacy, economic pressure, and direct action rooted in the tradition of Freedom Summer.

Join us May 16. Show up in Alabama or in your community. Sign up at AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth.com

SCOTUS just gutted the Voting Rights Act—the landmark law that guaranteed the right to vote for every American. In response, Southern politicians are rushing to redraw voting maps before the November midterms, rigging the system to weaken the political power of Black, Brown, Asian, and other communities of color. Rally with us in Montgomery or join any of the dozens of satellite protests taken place throughout the country tomorrow: allroadsleadtothesouth.com #DayOfAction

Last month, SCOTUS ruled in Callais v. Louisiana in a way that could make it nearly impossible for voters to challenge voting maps that racially discriminate against them. The Deep South often signals the furthest reach of racially exclusionary policy in America, and the dismantling of civil rights–era protections is already threatening to silence the voices of Black, Asian, and other communities of color nationwide.

Last week, a federal court stopped the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen, three days before thousands of Yemenis were set to lose their protections. This means Yemeni TPS holders keep their lawful status, work authorization, and protection from detention and deportation while our class action lawsuit continues. Learn more about the case and what this means for you and your family at AALDEF’s resource hub at the #linkinbio.

Today marks both May Day and the beginning of AAPI Heritage Month — a reminder that our stories of identity are also stories of labor, resistance, and solidarity.
 
From organizing alongside 15,000 Chinese garment workers in the 1980s, to securing protections for Filipino nurses, to standing with South Asian and other immigrant drivers facing unjust firings by Lyft and Uber, AAPI history has always been worker history.
 
These weren’t just moments of protest. They were declarations — that dignity is not optional, that immigrant labor must not be invisible, and that collective power can redefine what’s possible.
 
Today, we honor those who organized, resisted, and built pathways forward — and we continue their work.

Today, the Supreme Court delivered a profound setback in Louisiana v. Callais by dismantling one of the most transformational protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965—effectively rendering Section 2 unusable as a safeguard against racial discrimination and redistricting.
 
Let’s be clear: voting rights are under attack on multiple fronts. From discriminatory redistricting to restrictive policies, these efforts disproportionately burden communities of color, voters with limited English proficiency, elders, immigrants, voters with disabilities, and low-income communities.
 
From the very beginning, the fight for voting rights has always been about who belongs and who gets a say in shaping this country. Today, the importance of that fight and what’s at stake is clearer than ever.

“As a mother and an educator, I am living a harrowing struggle between my dream of securing my children’s future and a dire reality that threatens our very existence,” said Hadeel Doe, an anonymous plaintiff in the case and a mother and educator from Michigan. “We are not just seeking legal status; we are seeking our basic human right to protection.”

Thank you to community member Sondos Al Silwi for helping share this story. TPS for Yemen is set to expire in less than a week. We are urging the courts to preserve the program pending the outcome of the Yemenis’ class action suit challenging the legality of the termination.

AALDEF issued the above statement in response to the Department of Justice's investigation of @splcenter — a historic civil rights organization whose data on hate violence has long been used and trusted by government agencies under every administration over the past several decades. We will not be intimidated, even as the administration continues to deploy agencies to further its war against immigrants, racial and religious minorities, other marginalized people, and now the civil rights organizations fighting on their behalf.

Yesterday we were in court with our co-counsel at the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (@aaldef) on behalf of a class of Yemeni immigrants requesting an emergency order to prevent the Trump administration’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen from going into effect.

“This administration’s contempt for expertise is matched only by its contempt for non-white people, and those dual forms of contempt are what drove this decision (to rescind TPS) —it had nothing to do with the conditions on the ground, which remain so dire that the State Department today advises anyone traveling to Yemen to ‘write a will’ before they go, said Senior Managing Attorney Shayana Kadidal.

“Probable cause” should never decide someone’s fate.

Yesterday, Governor Hochul proposed a dangerous policy that would allow police to funnel New Yorkers to ICE detention and deportation based on “probable cause.”

Let’s be clear. Probable cause is one officer’s suspicion. Nothing more.

Giving law enforcement that level of discretion will only increase racial profiling, expand abuse of power, and put Black and Brown communities at greater risk.

The NAACP New York State Conference stands with @latinojustice and @aaldef in condemning this proposal.

This is not leadership. It’s a step backward.

We need real solutions. We need the New York for All Act.

We call on the Governor to roll back this proposal and stand up for all New Yorkers.
