All Roads Lead To The South, national day of action for voting rights
Organizers held the "All Roads Lead to the South" national day of action with a mass rally in Montgomery, Alabama, companion events in Selma, and livestream coverage by Roland S. Martin. Speakers including Representative Terri Sewell and more than a dozen congressional colleagues warned that the Supreme Court's weakening of the Voting Rights Act threatens fair political representation and urged renewed mobilization. The campaign urged donations to competitive Alabama districts, circulated free classroom lessons on the struggle for voting rights, and called for volunteers to boost turnout and defend election results. The effort aims to turn public pressure into funding, turnout and legal defenses to preserve minority representation in the South.
Good Afternoon Montgomery! We’re here in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement to organize and mobilize on this day of action. Because, we may be knocked down, but we are not knocked out. And, WE ARE NOT GOING BACK! #BlackVotersMatter #ProtectVotingRights #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

mrxexon4My homestate. The reason I still can't live there is the reason you're there right now...
👋I’m working on follow backs😊4🗽⚖️We literally must VOTE BLUE in huge overwhelming numbers, like Hungary did!!!
Blue Woman Voting 📎3If voters want the voting rights act passed, they would need to give Dems the House and a veto proof Dem controlled Senate. If you promise this, with Trump in the WH, it won't get done.
TODAY: ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH. Republican lawmakers across the South are carving up maps to dilute Black voting power and protect their own power because fair maps would threaten their grip. They knew the voters didn’t support this, so they went around them. 1/2
Christopher Webb279Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Boost every video. Share every livestream. Make sure the whole country sees it. Find an event near you👇🏾 www.mobilize.us/blackvotersm...
Brett Coughlin18Every patriot buried at Arlington National Cemetery and in graves in France and Italy, and all over Europe, died for democracy and the right for EVERY AMERICAN to have the right to vote and have their vote counted! To deny that right is an abomination of EVERYTHING THIS NATION STANDS FOR. #VRA
Corey O'Neill16The Supreme Court Has Unleashed 'Jim Crow 2.0' As The South Rolls Back Black Representation The decision gutting the Voting Rights Act has commenced the largest rollback of Black representation in the South since the end of Reconstruction. www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...
Christian Petersen9The ballroom, the data centers, the tariffs, the war, the pardons, the rabid promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of it and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.
Brenda Carter9I saw a post where black athletes are saying “if my vote doesn’t count here, I won’t play here”. I hope it’s true. Where would any college be without them. Someone posted Oregon 117 Alabama 3.
MadGreek 🧿9It's always been that way... trying to take away votes from Black folks. Why? Because they vote against Republicans.

bess-123.bsky.social8Republicans...are you unaware that Americans don't respect you when you do this stuff? And how will your kiddos feel when they learn the truth?
hippieatheart🦋8Like I said, if there’s nothing to hide hide nothing, same goes for voting, if they weren’t afraid of losing their seats, then why change the districts?
WatchYourRepsSC&TN5All of us must continue to make #GoodTrouble to prevent losing the ground gained in the 1960s. I will rise!
brightnessinsight.bsky.social4This administration has turned this country into a racist society but we have to remember there are more of us with similar beliefs, morals and dignity than them and we know right from wrong ✊🏾🇺🇸

Bonnie Schwertner2I just got back from a Texas beach town. Two years ago, there were Trump flags literally everywhere. Last year there were about half as many. This year I never saw one. In that town, that’s amazing!!!

northjoyce-1937.bsky.social4Sad day in American history that we are going backwards... I hope every person of color gets out and helps vote every Republican out of office. Racism under the Nazi felon dictator is beyond belief
FemPowerhouse3Written by Common & John Legend for the movie, Selma… Seems relevant today too. #selma #votingrights youtu.be/HUZOKvYcx_o?...

Steven Von der Porten for Aliso Viejo City Council3It’s not much, but I’m running for local office. I hope that by fighting for everyone’s rights in our neighborhoods and communities, we can lead the way to a more just and equitable society.
Elizabeth D. Leonard2My friends and I in our small Maine town will be standing downtown this afternoon with signs about protecting voting rights for ALL Americans, and handing out information. Tomorrow we will turn our regular weekly protest into a voting rights protest. REMEMBER SELMA is our theme!
