We Marched In Selma For Voting Rights. The GOP Should Be Terrified.
May 18, 2026 #VotingRights #Selma #CivilRights
This Saturday, The Contrarian team hit the front lines in Alabama for the massive All Roads Lead to the South civil rights rally. So, join us for today’s Coffee with Contrarians episode to hear from Norm Eisen, April Ryan, and Juan Proaño as they discuss the democratic energy at the march.
Following the Supreme Court's devastating Callais decision, April & Norm expose how Alabama is intentionally letting historic sites die to erase the legacy of Bloody Sunday.
But the movement is fighting back. Juan Proaño breaks down the historic alliance forming between Black and Latino voters, while Norm issues a chilling warning to all Americans: the GOP's racist map-hacking in the South is just the beginning, and if we don't stand up to the current administration now, your rights are next.
