- The Congressional Black Caucus sent letters to more than 250 companies — including big names that once backed voting-rights efforts (Apple, Amazon, Google, etc.) — urging them to oppose Republican-led redistricting that would eliminate majority-Black House districts as a way to “silence Black voices.”
- The push follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that weakened the Voting Rights Act and has allowed more states to redraw maps; the caucus wants companies to publicly condemn the maps, meet with members, and disclose political donations to officials in those states.
