CBC Chair Yvette Clarke: The Supreme Court Is Gutting Black Voting Rights | At Our Table

Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York talks with us about the fight over representation and whether American democracy can withstand a coordinated effort to weaken voting rights. The chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and daughter of Jamaican immigrants reflects on an upbringing shaped by activism and argues that democracy is endangered both by those who undermine it and by those who lose faith in it. We discuss the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court’s Callais decision, and the CBC’s push for corporations to publicly defend political representation. Her warning is that silence carries consequences.
