Register for NLIHC’s Our Homes, Our Votes Webinar: Mobilizing Voters After Louisiana v. Callais: Nonpartisan Action Steps for 2026

By Tia Turner, NLIHC Project Manager, Our Homes, Our Votes  

Join NLIHC’s Our Homes, Our Votes (OHOV) nonpartisan campaign on June 8 at 3:00 pm ET for a national conversation focused on practical voter engagement and organizing strategies in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais. 

Following OHOV’s May webinar examining the Court’s ruling, this conversation will focus on what comes next. As states, advocates, and communities respond to the decision through ongoing redistricting battles, legal challenges, and voter engagement efforts, this webinar will explore the emerging landscape and provide practical, nonpartisan strategies for protecting and expanding civic participation heading into the 2026 election cycle. 

The conversation comes amid significant new developments in Alabama, where the U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed a lower court ruling blocking the state's newly redrawn congressional map to remain in place. The decision preserves legal challenges brought by voting rights advocates who argue the map fails to provide fair representation for Black voters and highlights the continued uncertainty surrounding redistricting efforts following Louisiana v. Callais. While the Court's ruling in Callais has raised concerns about future voting rights protections, ongoing litigation and advocacy efforts in states like Alabama demonstrate that communities continue to organize, challenge discriminatory maps, and fight for fair representation. 

Participants will hear from leading voting rights and redistricting expert Michael Li, Senior Counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, who will provide an overview of key developments advocates should be watching in the post-Callais landscape. Attendees will also hear from Waikinya Clanton, Mississippi state director at the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Monica Riley, executive director of Alabama Alliance, who will share lessons from organizing and voter engagement efforts on the ground and discuss strategies organizations can use to mobilize communities ahead of the 2026 elections. 

The webinar will cover: 

• Major redistricting and voting rights developments following Louisiana v. Callais 
• The evolving legal and political landscape heading into the 2026 election cycle 
• Practical voter engagement and community organizing strategies 
• Opportunities for housing, civic engagement, and advocacy organizations to continue building civic power 
• Action steps organizations can take now to support voter education, engagement, and participation 

As attacks on voting rights continue to intersect with issues of housing stability, representation, and community power, it is more important than ever for advocates to remain informed, connected, and engaged.
