Here is the talking points on LA vs Callais

Messaging Guidance for
the Destruction of the Voting Rights Act
Updated 4/29/26

This guidance is based on extensive qualitative and quantitative research by Research Collaborative and ASO Communications, including these recent findings from Data For Progress. For more guidance on protecting our vote in the 2026 midterm elections, see our Hands Off Our Vote messaging guide here.

Narrative
Our leaders, whether elected or appointed, are entrusted to carry out the will of the people — not seize power, take bribes, and rule over us. But the MAGA Justices on the Roberts Court have once again betrayed the American people, destroying the Voting Rights Act in a bid to lock themselves into power. With their latest decision, the Roberts Court is handing MAGA politicians the power to prevent Black and brown people's votes from counting so that their billionaire backers can control the outcome of our elections and decide our futures for us. Across the country, the many can defeat the money by demanding our state leaders, from governors to representatives, keep their hands off our vote and not gut the voting power of Black and brown citizens.

DOs and DON’Ts
Do name the villain as the “MAGA Justices” or “the Roberts Court,” who are paving the way for the MAGA regime to control the outcome of our elections.
Don’t use language that obscures MAGA Justices’ role by attributing their actions to the institution itself.
DO reference the Roberts Court’s long history of ruling for their billionaire backers to remind people that this is a continuation of the attacks on our freedom.
Don’t obscure who is responsible for these decisions by using passive language, for example “democracy is eroding,” “rulings were issued.”
Do frame voter participation as a right and act of resistance.
Don’t treat 2026 as “normal” elections. That misleads people into complacency.
Do connect this decision to their motivations and the consequences for election results: they are trying control the outcome of our elections and lock themselves into power.
Don’t rely on shorthand like “voter suppression” or even “silence our voices” without making clear that this is about controlling election results.
Do use language of collective agency and action: “we must fight back, recruit, protect, organize.”

Do connect to lived experiences: highlight barriers people face today (voter roll purges, ballot box removals, absentee limits).
Don’t lean on abstract or procedural language alone. Keep the stakes personal: our freedoms, our safety, our sense of belonging, and our futures.
Do stress urgency and share a call to action – we must act now to make our elections as free as possible.
Don’t downplay the authoritarian context or feed despair by not offering ways for us to fight back.


Additional Talking Points
In America, most of us believe voters should pick our leaders, but this regime and its MAGA Justices are trying to keep people from voting in order to control our elections and ensure they win.
A political party tries to court your vote. An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting.
The regime knows they’re losing, so instead of courting our votes, they are trying to keep Black and brown people from voting. They want to seize more power, controlling our elections so they can declare themselves the winners before we even cast our votes.
Hands off our vote.
Protect our vote and ensure the will of the people prevails.
No matter what we look like or where we come from, most of us believe voters should pick our leaders, but this regime and the billionaire-backed MAGA Justices are trying to keep our neighbors from voting based on their race.
This regime wants to keep specific groups from voting, and the billionaire-backed MAGA Justices are doing its bidding with their latest decision.

They had one of them leading up to the last election too. And probably used very many of the same exact ones again here. Which worked out well for them well the last time.

I always they knew they had something. But to be honest I didn’t think it was that detailed. I imagine the press gets a copy as well?

I'm pretty sure they do as the buzz words get repeated across all the networks on the same days. Just funny to find it in the wild like this so I thought I'd share.

The simple response to all of this is "what part of the ruling says people can't vote?"

It is just as retarded as I expected. Long on emotion and bereft of factual or legal underpinnings.

Yeah they didn’t suddenly get unretarded over night. Their retardation is actually growing and increasing, day by day if you can believe that. It’s true.

Isn't that what gerrymandering is really about, by trying to guarantee an outcome to sieze and retain power?

Is it editable? If so someone should go in and slightly tweak it to change what they are saying oh so slightly.

I tried of course. I feel like Rush reading this. I know the way they think and their every predicable move. I understand their wacky illogic. They are all clueless about what conservatives think. Totally clueless and deep in their own bubbles.

I spend lots of time watching and observing within their bubble. They never even peek out

Nothing infuriates me more than the term “lived experience.” Is there any other kind?
