Arise legislative update: Recap of 2023 redistricting special session


Arise’s Akiesha Anderson provides an update after the Alabama Legislature’s weeklong special session that focused on redistricting. The special session was in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Allen v. Milligan, which found that Alabama’s congressional districts likely violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of Black voters. Akiesha also discusses what may happen next as the state’s new map faces a likely change in federal court next month.
