Jason, making sure you caught our last message.
The fight to protect Black representation across the South is far from over. That’s why Congresswoman Nikema is putting on the pressure, calling out Georgia Republicans’ racist plans for what they are and making them back down like we saw on Wednesday.
We know Republicans won’t stop trying to steal power for themselves, so we must remain committed to this fight. Can you donate $10 to help hit our $5,000 goal and continue standing up for Black representation?

Begin forwarded message:
Jason,
In April, the Supreme Court dismantled the Voting Rights Act. What’s happened since should alarm every one of us.
That's why Ambassador Andrew Young and I went straight to the public. We told the AJC the truth: The coordinated attack on Black representation happening across the South right now is not a Southern issue or a Black issue.
It is an attack on democracy itself.And until yesterday, Georgia was next on the docket.The attacks on Black representation and our democracy at large are far from over — that’s why my team and I set a goal to raise $5,000 this week to help me stay on the defense. Will you join me in the fight by pitching in $10 or whatever you can right now?

The Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais triggered a domino effect. Southern state after Southern state is redrawing maps to silence Black voters.
Georgia House leadership say they’re holding off on redrawing our map during this special legislative session. But for how long?
Jason, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If you care about healthcare, affordability, civil rights, or any issue that keeps you up at night — you cannot afford to look away from this one.
This is our Civil Rights Movement. And I wrote this op-ed because you deserve to understand exactly what we're up against and exactly how I'm fighting back. But I can’t do it alone.
If you’re with me in this fight, please chip in $10 or whatever you can to help me continue spreading the word and defending Black representation wherever and whenever it is under attack.
Make no mistake: Republicans chickening out was a win for Georgia voters, but we can’t afford to become complacent.
— Congresswoman Nikema Williams
