Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Board of Directors Chair Rev. Dr. Don Darius Butler will be part of a crowd coming from outside of the Black Belt to protest at the upcoming "All Roads Lead to the South" in Montgomery tomorrow.
“There are moments history will not excuse,” Butler said in a press release from CDF. “All Roads Lead to the South names this hour as one that demands moral courage, unflinching presence, and direct action. Silence will only sustain harm and delay will only deny our collective responsibility. The time to act is not coming. It is here.”
Thousands are expected to appear at the protest over an action from the Alabama Legislature to hold special primary elections on Aug. 11 in the wake of the Louisiana vs. Callais decision.
Republican lawmakers in Alabama seek to restore congressional maps drawn prior to 2023, which some have criticized as erasing black representation in politics.
