YBLOC seeks to represent a unique perspective within the universe of civic organizations impacted by SB1--that of lawyers and law students dedicated to protecting and empowering Black voters. Because YBLOC conducts organizing and advocacy in support of its mission in Texas (along with six other states), the Court concludes that YBLOC has a "special interest that justifies [it] having a say." Strasser v. Dooley, 432 F.2d 567, 569 (1st Cir. 1970). The Clerk is DIRECTED to file the proposed amicus brief attached as an exhibit to YBLOCs motion [203-1].
