Protesters in Louisiana are demonstrating against Republican-led redistricting efforts that could eliminate two Black-majority congressional districts.

Protesters have demonstrated against a proposed Louisiana redistricting plan that seeks to remove two Black-majority districts, which would likely reduce Black representation in Congress. The video highlights how the US Supreme Court's previous ruling—striking down a majority-Black district because race was considered too heavily—has enabled Republican-led states to challenge similar districts across the country.
