We want to hear from you! Send us a textGerrymandering, voting rights, and a courtroom battle that could change everything — in this episode of Black Girls Do Politics, we're pulling back the curtain on the political strategies being used to strip Black communities of their power, one redrawn district at a time. From Missouri, where a coalition collected over 305,000 signatures to put gerrymandered congressional maps on the ballot, to a Louisiana Supreme Court case quietly threatening to gut the Civil Rights Act itself, the attacks are coordinated, they are calculated, and they are coming from every direction. Joined by policy strategist Rhyane N. Wagner of Black Voters Matter, and Jamie J. Johnson of People Not Politicians, we break down what these fights mean for Black political power, who is behind them, and what Black women can do right now to fight back. Because the map is not just a map — it is a weapon. And we are not going out like that. Black Girls Do Politics, y'all!
