Legal Organizations Fighting for Voting Rights in the Courts

Major organizations are litigating voting rights cases, including redistricting, ballot access, voter suppression laws, and felony disenfranchisement. Many of these groups are pivoting toward state constitutional claims following the Supreme Court's April 2026 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Consider donating to one or more of these groups to support their efforts.
