How the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais Decision Unleashed a Nationwide Assault on Democracy — and Which Corporations Are Paying for It

The Supreme Court just brought back Jim Crow. Not as a metaphor. Not as hyperbole. As policy. We can write letters. We can call representatives. We should do both. But we can also do something those states will feel in their bones: we can stop spending our money there.

In eight days, †rump's regime and a captured Supreme Court dismantled sixty years of voting rights protections, allowed Republican-led states to carve up majority-Black districts, and set in motion a nationwide assault on Black political power not seen since the end of Reconstruction.

Today, April 29, 2026, the United States Supreme Court completed what scholars are already calling the most consequential rollback of civil rights in a century. In a 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the Court's conservative supermajority gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — the last meaningful legal shield protecting Black, Latino, Native American, and Asian American voters from racially discriminatory electoral maps. What you CAN still do.
