On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, the Callais v. Louisiana Voting Rights case is being heard at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC. -- a case that could gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the key safeguard against racially discriminatory redistricting. The outcome could silence millions of voters of color and reshape Congress for a generation.
