Our Executive Director, Anneshia Hardy, reminds us that while rage can be a powerful response to injustice, it cannot be the destination.Throughout history, movements have endured not simply because people named what was wrong, but because they built what was needed. From Fannie Lou Hamer's Freedom Farm Cooperative to the Black Panther Party's Free Breakfast Program, liberation has always been rooted in tangible work, collective care, and community.If our politics only teaches us to critique, but never equips us to create, cynicism becomes the outcome.As Anneshia says in this conversation, the question isn't only What are you resisting? It's also What are you building? #Liberation #Democracy #CommunityPower #NarrativePower #PoliticalEducation #BuildTheFuture by @statevoices

On America's 250th birthday, we take the time to recognize that this country was founded on democracy and rights for the few. But we envision a true multi-racial democracy and fight for the promise of what America could be.That promise has always required people willing to fight for it. Every expansion of freedom in this country's history came because ordinary people refused to accept the gap between America's ideals and its reality. Inequities aren't history — they are present today, in voting restrictions and gerrymandered maps drawn to silence Black and brown communities. In Supreme Court decisions that have rolled back reproductive rights and other hard-won protections. In unequal access to healthcare, quality education, economic opportunity and the freedom to simply live safely.For many Americans, the freedom this day celebrates has never been fully extended to them. 250 years in, and the work isn't done. We remain committed to fighting until everyone is truly free to live and thrive. #July4th #America250 #IndependenceDayALT Text: A Fourth of July graphic with a light beige background. At the top, there is a logo that says "State Voices." Below it, black text says "Today and everyday," followed by large blue bold text that says "WE STAND WITH THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND PROTEST FOR THEIR FREEDOM." A red swooping underline appears beneath the text. In the lower half, there is a photo of multiple Black hands with fists raised together in solidarity, surrounded by illustrated blue stars and red brushstroke accents. by @statevoices

In a decision June 29 in Watson v. RNC, the Roberts Court ruled to protect the voice of voters who mail their ballots! The decision to honor ballot grace periods means that over 114 million voters can confidently vote by mail knowing their mail in ballots will be counted for the November midterm elections.Join @statevoices and our State Tables to celebrate this important victory, and spread the word that voting by mail is safe and protected by the Constitution. The case upheld states' rights to count ballots postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive a few days later due to postal delay. That protects voters in 14 states — including Nevada, New York, Washington, Virginia, and Massachusetts. While this is good news, one ruling doesn't end the effort to keep people from exercising their right to vote and getting their voices heard. In fact, this is a key strategy for those in power to maintain power this November, because they know voters are unhappy with their decisions. We have to be ready and keep working together to get our voices heard. Follow State Voices and our partners to stay informed and get involved.June 29 in Watson v.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈This June, we celebrate the joy, resilience, love and remarkable people who have fought for decades to live authentically and freely.As we celebrate, we also acknowledge what our TLGBQIA+ community faces right now. Across the country, we're seeing a wave of legislation targeting transgender individuals — especially youth — along with rising rates of discrimination and violence. Pride started as a protest movement, and that spirit of standing up for dignity and justice is just as important today as it ever was.So this month — and every month — let's celebrate loudly, advocate fiercely and remind every person in our lives that they are seen, loved and worthy. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️#PrideMonth #TLGBQIA #HappyPride by @statevoices

Juneteenth reminds us that liberation doesn't come from a single moment. It comes from people refusing to be silenced, including the emancipation of the enslaved. And right now, that fight is happening in our communities, in the courts and at the ballot box.Black voters and communities continue to face systematic efforts to dilute their voices — through gerrymandering and redistricting maps drawn to divide and diminish. Through voting restrictions that make it harder to show up. Through Supreme Court decisions that have rolled back hard-won protections, weakening the very tools designed to safeguard representation.Check out our CEO Alexis Anderson-Reed's latest conversation about the Callais decision, what it means for voting rights, and why we refuse to give up the fight at our link in bio. Our democracy is only as strong as the voices it includes. And Black voices MUST be centered. Happy Juneteenth! Keep fighting. Keep voting. Keep organizing. ✊🏾❤️💚🖤#Juneteenth #JuneteenthDay #FreedomDay Image Description: A Juneteenth graphic with a yellow, black, and green background. At the top, large black bold text says "JUNETEENTH." In the center, there is a circular photo of two Black women at a protest, one holding a fist in the air and the other speaking into a megaphone, framed by red and green swirl designs. Below the photo, white text says "We're fighting for the freedom and safety of our people." followed by "Alexis Anderson-Reed, CEO of State Voices" in yellow and italic text. The State Voices logo appears in the bottom left corner. by @statevoices

This is not just a policy debate, it is a fight over political power. Across Memphis, Tennessee, and the South, communities are seeing efforts to split, dilute, and redraw organized Black political influence.Matia Powell @CIVICTN reminds us that the organizing in TN did not start with the crisis. Years of building statewide infrastructure, trust, and cross-community partnerships meant leaders could respond quickly, connect across states, and move resources where they were needed.Even as lawsuits move forward, many residents still do not know what changed or why. That is why clear communication matters so voters understand they are not alone, not forgotten, and still part of an ongoing fight to protect their voice and their democracy. by @statevoices
