ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH

The dismantling of the Voting Rights Act is a reminder that we have unfinished business. This fight is ours — and we are going to finish it. Join us in building what comes next.

Why Now. Why the South.

Same Fight.
New Generation.

Our parents and grandparents marched, organized, bled, and won. The Voting Rights Act was theirs. The fight to keep it is ours.

Right now, state by state, that law is being dismantled. We know that we cannot fight the same battles the same way. New times demand new tactics — economic pressure, political organizing, community action, culture, and faith. But we know what we know: organizing works. And we have unfinished business.

Our oppressors are relics of the past. We are the future. All roads lead to the South.

Activities came from across the state, across the country — by bus, by faith, and by conviction. On May 16th, over 5,600 gathered in Selma and Montgomery. More than 1,000 faith leaders led the way across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in prayer, while 3 million more bore witness through 80+ satellite feeds and screens nationwide. 82 buses rolled. Prayers rose from across the country. And the spirit of a movement that has never stopped demanding what was promised made itself known — again, and louder than ever.

The march matters. But the maps being drawn right now will determine the next decade of political power. Legislative sessions are open across the South — and these are the battles you need to watch.
