SCSJ Executive Director Anita Earls speaks on the importance of upholding Voting Rights for all

It has been a busy week for Voting Rights. On July 22, 2013 SCSJ and partner agencies including the North Carolina NAACP announced plans to appeal a state court ruling that allows racially gerrymandered voting districts. On the same day, SCSJ Executive Director Anita Earls spoke about the importance of both court challenges and Moral Monday. On Tuesday, SCSJ Staff Attorney Allison Riggs spoke at the Senate Rules Committee meeting discussing a sweeping new voter ID bill. A sampling of SCSJ media coverage is below.
