Statement on Louisiana v. Callais from the PSC Principal Officers

May 13, 2026

In hollowing out the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court has taken deliberate steps to deny meaningful representation for African Americans and others who have been historically disenfranchised. Let’s be clear: this decision will foster discrimination through redistricting and fuel racial inequity in political representation. This ruling is about voter suppression, and the Court has dishonored the generations who marched, bled, and died to advance civil rights, including the right to vote. We join those in the labor movement calling on Congress to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and defeat the misleadingly named Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. We join in the commitment to help protect fair systems of representation and affirm CUNY’s role in expanding the horizon of excellent education for all New Yorkers. The Court’s decision will galvanize our fight for racial equality and social justice.

On March 15, 2025 a massive crowd of New Yorkers from across the labor movement and allies gathered at Foley Square for a march to demand the current administration to stop the federal cuts as right-wing politicians in Washington are moving forward with devastating proposals to cut two trillion dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, housing and food assistance and other vital programs to fund a massive tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations.
