About this sermon

The Supreme Court continues to dismantle the protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but our community is organized and ready to respond. In this powerful community education session, "This Is Not a Test," we break down the ongoing attacks on the ballot box and outline clear, actionable steps for voter engagement. Moderated by Dedrick Russell, this session features expert legal analysis from civil rights attorney Geraldine Sumter and strategic organizing insights from Marcus Bass of the North Carolina Black Alliance. We cover the historical fight for the vote, the devastating impacts of cases like Shelby County v. Holder, the necessity of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and how we can mobilize every voter profile in our community.
