Fair Fight

Fighting for free and fair elections — in Georgia and around the nation. A joint account of Fair Fight and Fair Fight Action.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
While the outcome wasn't what we hoped for, the work is not done. Keep believing in your vision and fighting — your voice matters. We MUST insist.
If your vote didn’t have power, Republicans wouldn’t be working so hard to block it. They’re terrified of the 2026 midterms.
North Carolina Republicans want to make it illegal for election officials to encourage people to vote. The move is “basically always unconstitutional under the First Amendment,” says Andrew Garber of @BrennanCenter. More from @Jen_Rice_: hubs.ly/Q03y8c210
The GOP captured power by building a local machine focused on winning school boards, county commissions, and state legislatures. @AmandaLitman wrote about the importance of local races for Rights & Insights, our new (free) Substack. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/rightsandi…
NEW: Their agenda is so unpopular, they’re rigging the midterms in plain sight. Trump and Republicans want to steal 5 House seats – not by earning votes, by redrawing maps. I wrote about this + why Democrats must use their power ruthlessly, just like Beto O’Rourke said on CNN.
Republicans are so desperate to keep Americans from voting them out in the 2026 midterms, they’re drawing Texas congressional maps with a kaleidoscope.
Under one of the proposed Texas redistricting maps, driving around Houston’s outer loop would mean crossing a congressional district border 8 times.
Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State just launched one of the largest voter purges in U.S. history. Nearly 500,000 voters – about 6% of registered voters – are at risk of being removed from the rolls. Details. ⬇️
5 years ago, we lost John Lewis. Now MAGA extremists are advancing a bill in Congress that would drag voting rights back to the Jim Crow era. Let’s talk about the SAVE Act – and why we desperately need the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. ⬇️
Pam Bondi lobbied for private prisons. Then Trump made her Attorney General. Now she’s on Fox News pushing to reopen Alcatraz. She worked for GEO Group – whose CEO is “excited” about mass deportations. For MAGA, cruelty is a business model.
Bondi: It could hold middle-class violent prisoners, it could hold illegal aliens. It could hold anything. This is a terrific facility. It needs a lot of work but no one has been known to escape from alcatraz and survive.
Five years ago, we lost John Lewis. Now MAGA extremists are pushing the SAVE Act – a new version of old Jim Crow tactics. False claims. Weaponized bureaucracy. Voter suppression. We have to stop it. For John. For our democracy. More: rightsandinsights.substack.com/p/why-we-still…
Today, we honor the legacy of John Lewis who was a warrior for justice, a voice for the voiceless, and the soul of ‘good trouble.’ Your fight lives on!
Reminder why today’s fight over Emil Bove’s judicial nomination matters: Trump already treats the Supreme Court like his personal legal team. Bove’s confirmation could allow him to actually install one of his former personal attorneys.
Donald Trump has effectively already selected his next Supreme Court Justice. And he's just about as bad as it gets. Let's talk about Emil Bove.
The Tea Party Patriots helped fund the rally that led to the January 6th insurrection. Now they’re pressuring Senators to force passage of the SAVE Act – a bill that would block millions of eligible Americans from voting. Call your Senators, demand they NO: (202) 224-3121
Fascists always go after public information first. Because informed citizens are harder to control.
At 2:30 a.m., the Senate passed Trump's cancellation of $9 billion in federal funding for PBS, NPR and critical foreign aid programs. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted with all Democrats against the bill. The package now goes back to the House for final passage.
BRAZEN POWER GRAB: Trump is pushing Texas Republicans to redraw congressional maps and rig the U.S. House. The goal? Stop voters from throwing them out and lock in GOP control – and it’s all possible thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts. Must-read from @AriBerman. ⬇️
478,000 voters – about 6% of Georgia's registered voters – are being removed from the rolls. Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State just launched one of the largest voter purges in U.S. history. Voters have just 40 days to act.⬇️
Here they go again – Republicans are rigging the rules to block Democrats from taking back Congress in 2026. Important voting rights news you may have missed last week. 👇
