18:36Now PlayingThe Voting Rights Act is under the most coordinated attack since Reconstruction — and the South just responded.
On May 16, 2026, thousands converged on Montgomery, Alabama — the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement — for **All Roads Lead to The South**, a National Day of Action for Voting Rights.
This highlight reel captures the fire. From the gutting of the Voting Rights Act to gerrymandered maps drawn with surgical precision, speakers named the attack directly and called for a movement that can't be rigged.
**Featured speakers:**
Sidney Jackson · Angie Nixon · Tequila Johnson · Justin Pearson · Justin Jones · Terri Sewell · Shamari Figures · Whip Katherine Clark · Sen. Raphael Warnock · Rev. Freddie Haynes · Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez · Rep. Joyce Beatty · Rep. Ayanna Pressley · Derrick Johnson · Janay Nelson · LaTosha Brown · Cliff Albright · Roland Martin
**Key themes:**
Voting rights · Gerrymandering · Shelby County v. Holder · Louisiana v. Calais · Court reform · Black political power · Electoral strategy
*"You can't rig a movement."*
*— Justin Pearson, Tennessee*
