路易斯安那选区重划案10月27日再开庭，民权组织号召旁听力保最后一个多数黑人选区
10月25日，法律辩护基金组织宣布，将于10月27日组织支持者前往法庭，旁听路易斯安那州诉卡莱斯案的最新庭审，呼吁法院驳回针对该州最后一个多数黑人选区的最新挑战。该案此前已导致路易斯安那州两个多数黑人选区中的一个被取消，如今同一诉讼方转而挑战剩下的一个选区。
法律辩护基金组织表示，10月27日的行动日将先在法庭内旁听法官是否驳回最新诉讼，庭后共同律师与当事人将在法庭外发言，随后组织社区力量推动提前投票最后一天的投票动员。该组织强调，黑人路易斯安那人的声音不容抹去。
路易斯安那州的国会选区划分一直是中期选举前最受关注的诉讼之一，选区版图的每一次变动都直接影响黑人选民的代表权。10月27日既是法庭决定是否驳回诉讼的日子，也是该州提前投票的最后一天，法律与选情在同一天交汇。组织方呼吁支持者“坐满法庭”，以行动表明公众正在注视此案的走向。

Louisiana Redistricting Case Returns to Court October 27 as Civil Rights Group Rallies Support for Last Majority-Black District
The Legal Defense Fund announced on October 25 that it will bring supporters to court on October 27 for the latest hearing in Louisiana v. Callais, urging the court to dismiss the newest challenge to the state's last remaining majority-Black congressional district. The case previously eliminated one of Louisiana's two majority-Black districts, and the same plaintiffs have now turned to challenging the one that remains.
The Legal Defense Fund said the October 27 day of action will begin inside the courtroom, where supporters will watch whether the judge dismisses the latest lawsuit; afterward, co-counsel and plaintiffs will speak outside the courthouse, followed by community organizing to drive turnout on the final day of early voting. The organization stressed that the voices of Black Louisianans will not be erased.
Louisiana's congressional map has been among the most closely watched legal fights ahead of the midterm elections, with every change to the district lines directly affecting Black voters' representation. October 27 is both the day the court decides on dismissal and the last day of early voting in the state, where the legal battle and the election converge. Organizers are calling on supporters to "pack the court" to show that the public is watching the case.
