The director behind Black Panther and Creed is speaking out against Georgia's new re- strictive voting law.
Ryan Coogler, 34, wrote a guest column for Deadline de- tailing his concerns over Geor- gia's new election bill SB202, which the director says has "shameful roots in Jim Crow" and aims to suppress the vot- ing rights of Georgia citizens.
"The fight for full enfran- chisement is fundamental to the African-American struggle in this country and to this country's claim to functioning democracy," Coogler began
the article. "As an African- American, and as a citizen, I oppose all attempts, explicit and otherwise, to shrink the electorate and reduce access to the ballot."
He continues, "I say this as I return to Georgia, a state that holds a special place in my heart. I lived in Atlanta for eight months while filming my last movie. I have long looked forward to returning. But, when I was informed of the passage of SB202 in the state, and its ramifications for the state's voters, I was profoundly disappointed."

Lizzo Calls On Allies To Do An Intentional Act Of Anti-Racism
Lizzo is resetting the rules on what it means to be an ally in the fight against racism in America.
The Grammy Award-win- ning singer is calling out indi- viduals who say they’re helping tear down systems of oppres- sion. Certain tiny gestures such as putting “Black Lives Matter” in a social media bio or sharing a black square aren’t enough. In a video shared to Instagram on Thursday (April 15), the “Truth Hurts” star elaborated on how people could do inten- tional acts to stop the spread of hate and racist tropes.

Have you seen someone getting harassed for the color of their skin and in- tentionally went over there and stopped it? Have you educated yourself?”
