12:22Now PlayingJustin Jones says Black political power across the South is under direct attack by a coordinated MAGA redistricting campaign rooted in racial retaliation and voter suppression.
Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones delivers a blistering warning about what he describes as a coordinated MAGA attack on Black political power across the South. Jones argues that Republican-led redistricting efforts in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and other Southern states are part of a racial backlash enabled by recent Supreme Court rulings weakening the Voting Rights Act. He repeatedly frames the fight as a direct assault on Black voters, Black lawmakers, and democracy itself, while calling for national mobilization, direct action, and a new Freedom Summer movement.
