Tonight, The Signal LIVE confronts two of the most urgent fights shaping this moment.
As the Voting Rights Act faces mounting attacks and Supreme Court decisions continue to reshape our democracy, we ask what is truly at stake for Black political power, representation, and the future of our vote.

Hosted by Candice Benbow.

@preachjared shares how feeling overwhelmed by current events doesn’t mean everything is falling apart, but rather that something is being revealed, refined, or rebuilt.
