Today, the NAACP, alongside the NAACP Tennessee State Conference and a coalition of civil rights and community organizations, filed a federal lawsuit challenging Tennesseeโs newly enacted congressional map.
The lawsuit argues the map dismantles the stateโs only majority-Black district and weakens the voting power of Black Tennesseans.
โTennessee lawmakers made a deliberate choice to silence Black voters by dismantling a district that has long ensured representation for one of the stateโs largest Black populations.โ Derrick Johnson
Weโre continuing the fight to protect our voting rights and ensure our communities are fairly represented.
