Federal laws only change when the leaders do, and state and local laws have similar if smaller playing fields. But one of the barriers to change has long been that people didn’t have the language to describe what is wrong, or have the information to prove that it happens. I know voting rights are complicated and messy, and voter suppression is infuriating and patently wrong. But we can only win our fights if we understand how they steal our power and when we resolve, each of us, to take it back.
