NAACP Launches 'Out of Bounds' Campaign to Withhold Support from States Undermining Black Voting Power

The NAACP unveils the 'Out of Bounds' campaign, urging Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to withhold commitments, tickets, and sponsorship from flagship public universities in eight states (Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia) that have moved to dilute Black voting power following a Supreme Court ruling. Recruits are asked to withhold commitments, current athletes to leverage their platforms and consider transfers, and fans to redirect spending to HBCUs. The campaign aims to pressure states to restore fair maps and meaningful Black representation and will continue until protections and redistricting reflect Black power.
