Nationwide Protests Erupt Against Republican-Backed Redistricting Plans

Thousands of protesters gathered across the United States to rally against Republican-backed congressional redistricting plans that many claim are an attempt to manipulate electoral outcomes. Events were organized under the banner ‘Fight the Trump Takeover,’ with over 200 demonstrations held in various locations, including significant turnouts at the Texas Capitol. Activists, including notable figures like Dolores Huerta, joined efforts to voice their dissent against what they view as gerrymandering initiatives. The protests drew attention not only in Texas but also in states like California and Florida, highlighting a widespread concern over the potential erosion of fair electoral representation.
