6:11Now PlayingSpeaking at the All Roads Lead to The South rally in Montgomery, Alabama, AOC warned that the Supreme Court and Southern Republicans are accelerating a coordinated effort to erase Black political power through voting rights rollbacks, racial gerrymandering, and attacks on representation.
At the All Roads Lead to The South rally in Montgomery, Alabama, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered a forceful warning that Black political power is once again under coordinated attack across the South. AOC connected modern Supreme Court voting rights decisions to a long history of repression stretching back to Reconstruction, arguing that the Roberts Court is helping dismantle protections won through the Civil Rights Movement. She called on people across the country to “pull up” to Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, framing the moment as “Freedom Summer 2.0.” The speech warned that racial gerrymandering, polling place closures, voter roll purges, and attacks on the Voting Rights Act are all part of a modern effort to make Black communities politically invisible.
