Rally for Justice: Reinvigorating Voting Rights in Montgomery
On Saturday, a massive crowd gathered in Montgomery, Alabama, to advocate for a renewed era of voting rights, as conservative states attempt to adjust congressional districts, weakening Black political representation.
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey addressed the crowd, reminding them of their duty to uphold civil rights achievements made by previous generations.
Protestors chanted slogans like “we won't go back” as they stood in front of the Alabama Capitol, a historical site in both the Confederacy and Civil Rights Movement. The rally highlighted concerns about recent legal decisions that could undo years of progress in securing voting rights for minorities.
