Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SCOTUS Hears Arguments in Key Louisiana Redistricting Case

HeadlineMar 25, 2025

The Supreme Court on Monday also heard arguments in a key voting rights case in Louisiana which could have a major impact on the future of the already-weakened Voting Rights Act. The case centers on whether Louisiana’s new congressional map, which created a second majority-Black district, is unconstitutional. One-third of Louisiana’s population is Black. Last year, using the newly drawn maps, voters elected Cleo Fields, a Black Democrat, to represent the district, sending two Democrats from Louisiana to the U.S. House for the first time in a decade.
