In 9 of the 11 former Confederate states, Black citizens are underrepresented in the state legislature— and it’s no accident.

In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court gutted essential parts of the Voting Rights Act, allowing GOP legislatures to enact some of the most racially discriminatory district maps in state history.

Last year, a federal judge in Georgia ruled that GOP-drawn maps were discriminatory and unlawful because they diluted Black voting power and ignored the state’s growing Black population.

Legislators redrew the maps, but Georgia Democrats still argue the maps are discriminatory.

In North Carolina, voting rights advocates filed suit charging GOP legislators with racially gerrymandering the state House and Senate maps by deliberately diluting the voting power of majority-Black areas.

And in Louisiana, a federal court determined that GOP-created maps violated the Voting Rights Act by weakening the power of Black voters. The state was ordered to finalize a new map
early this year.

Recently in Alabama, the Republican legislature refused to comply with a federal judge’s order to create fair voting maps that better represented Black voters. It had to be enforced by court order.

Equal access to the ballot box is crucial for communities to choose representatives who will fight for them.

Gov. Katie Hobbs plans to cancel $2 billion in medical debt for up to 1 million residents.

This is the biggest medical debt cancellation proposal in the country.

The Governor plans to use $30 million in federal funds to buy and cancel the debt

You've probably heard how AWESOME the is doing under President .

But here are 30 more great things has done as you may not have heard about.

From over-the-counter , to a major crackdown on junk fees, and much, much more...!

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/02/02/joe-biden-30-policy-things-you-might-have-missed-00139046?s=09&fbclid=IwAR22KoUaCFagXkUKkQb-GTOcyRektuo4EO8Lq7i07ktnJCTXuDdZfltEKqA

LABOR Expanded overtime guarantees for millions President Barack Obama late in his second term oversaw a regulation that called for workers making up to $47,476 to be automatically entitled to time-and-a-half overtime pay. The move infuriated businesses and Republicans, who sought to block the rule in both Congress and the courts. Donald Trump’s election and a Texas judge’s ruling in 2016 led the Labor Department to revisit the matter and set a significantly lower threshold of $35,568. The move: Biden’s Department of Labor reopened the issue and proposed a rule at the end of August that would push up that cutoff by nearly $20,000 — to $55,000. The draft regulation, which still needs to be finalized, would also include a mechanism to automatically adjust that level every three years by yoking it to the 35th percentile of annual income.
HEALTH CARE First over-the-counter birth control pill to hit U.S. stores in 2024 The push to make an oral contraceptive available without a prescription predates Biden's presidency. But the issue took on fresh urgency when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, particularly as conservatives openly questioned the legal precedent establishing the right to privacy for birth control access. Within weeks of the ruling, a contraceptive maker, which had spent more than six years studying consumers’ ability to use the product correctly without a doctor’s supervision, applied to the FDA for over-the-counter approval. The move: Despite concerns from FDA scientists about consumers’ comprehension of the drug’s proper use and risks, in July 2023 the agency endorsed making the pill available over the counter.
CLIMATE Renewable power is the No. 2 source of electricity in the U.S. — and climbing Biden entered the White House putting climate change and job B creation from the expansion of a clean energy economy at the top of his agenda — an about-face from energy policy during the Trump administration. At the time, renewable energy sources were already on the rise and the industry was optimistic about its future, especially buoyed by promises from the new president to invest trillions of dollars into clean energy development and research, and the global trend toward cleaner forms of power. The move: Across the Biden administration, agencies and officials have made the transition to green energy a central tenet, reinvigorating programs left dormant under Trump and accelerating approval of renewable energy projects, like offshore wind. And Democratic lawmakers passed landmark legislation — the Inflation Reduction Act — to reduce greenhouse gases that are driving climate change and provide support for green power sources. That legislation included billions for new programs and lucrative tax incentives to boost technologies, like solar and wind, as well as next-generation sources like green hydrogen.

Yeah, so just in case you missed this, the 's latest talking point is that being forced to give birth to your rapist's baby can be "the greatest healing agent" for victims.

I swear I am not making this up.
