Protect voting rights!
In Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme Court’s six Republican appointees gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. As Justice Kagan warned in dissent, states can now “systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power” without legal consequence. They’re already doing it: Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana are rushing to redraw maps along racial lines. Louisiana’s governor even suspended an ongoing primary election to make it happen.
Congress must respond. Democrats have reintroduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore VRA protections, and the Freedom to Vote Act would end partisan gerrymandering and block voter suppression. Supreme Court reform is also on the table.
👉 Call your representatives: demand they protect voting rights and rein in a rogue Court.

Saturday, June 6, 1:00–3:00pm | Citizens Bank National Day of Action standout, Concord Center
While most major banks have cut ties with private prison giants CoreCivic and GEO Group, Citizens Bank is doubling down — helping detain more than half of the 70,000 immigrants currently held in ICE facilities. This Saturday, thousands of people nationwide are saying: ENOUGH.
Be one of them. Bring signs: De-ICE Citizens Bank • Cages Aren’t Communities • Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse — or make your own.

Sunday, June 7, 2:00–4:00pm | Raising Our Voices for Democracy: A Musical Fundraiser for Act On Mass, Harvey Wheeler Community Center. We’ll have refreshments, music, and crafts.
Why does Massachusetts — a deep blue state — rank dead last in legislative effectiveness? Because House leaders exercise iron top-down control, suppressing debate and stalling popular bills for years. Same-day voter registration has languished in the House for 17 years. We’re the only blue state without a Safe Communities Act. Meanwhile, the House is fast-tracking a bill to gut Mass Save, our leading clean energy program.
Act On Mass is fighting to make Beacon Hill progressive, transparent, and accountable — to people, not donors.
👉 Join us and support Act On Mass
