周五，数千名抗议者预计将聚集在华盛顿国家广场，参加由阿尔·夏普顿（Al Sharpton）牧师、马丁·路德·金三世（Martin Luther King III）以及全国行动网络（National Action Network）和鼓手长研究所（Drum Major Institute）组织的2026年“捍卫投票权”华盛顿大游行 1。此次活动旨在呼应1963年马丁·路德·金的标志性游行，并抗议美国最高法院4月在路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案（Louisiana v. Callais）中对《1965年投票权法》的重新解释 1。抗议者还将反对南方各州通过选区重划削弱黑人社区平等代表权的行为 1。
在路易斯安那州，黑人人口占总人口的33%，但众议员克利奥·菲尔兹（Cleo Fields）的选区被重划为以白人社区为主，导致其放弃竞选连任国会，转而竞选州参议院席位 1。在周五的游行中，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）、弗吉尼亚州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格（Abigail Spanberger）以及众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特兹（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）等多位民主党政治人物将发表演讲 1。
与此同时，全国有色人种协进会（NAACP）、法律民权委员会（Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law）以及“黑人选民至关重要”（Black Voters Matter）等民权组织已在联邦法院提起新诉讼 1。该诉讼针对的是特朗普限制邮寄投票的行政令 1。
Thousands of protesters are expected to gather at the National Mall on Friday for the 2026 "Defend the Vote" March on Washington, organized by Rev. Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King III, the National Action Network, and the Drum Major Institute 1. The event echoes Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic 1963 march and aims to support voting rights and racial justice 1. Senator Bernie Sanders, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are scheduled to deliver speeches at the rally 1.
The demonstration protests the U.S. Supreme Court's reinterpretation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in the April Louisiana v. Callais case, as well as redistricting in Southern states that diminishes equal representation for Black communities 1. In Louisiana, where the Black population accounts for 33% of the state, the district of Representative Cleo Fields was redrawn to become predominantly white 1. Consequently, Fields abandoned his bid for congressional reelection to instead run for a state senate seat 1.
Meanwhile, the NAACP, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Black Voters Matter have filed a new lawsuit in federal court against an executive order by Donald Trump that restricts mail-in voting 1.
