In her latest op-ed with NewsOne, @ItsMsPortia Portia Allen-Kyle, Color Of Change’s Interim Executive Director, contextualizes the redistricting fight and asserts that it is critical for Democrat states to join the fray. Read the piece here:

Today is the anniversary of the ruthless murder of Emmett Till, who was only 14 when he was lynched by a racist mob in 1955. For supposedly interacting "inappropriately" with a white woman in the South, an innocent life was taken. You should have had the chance to grow older.
