Voter Suppression:
That was then – This is now!
Let’s Support The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!
The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 14) would modernize and revitalize the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Supreme Court has hampered the law by gutting its preclearance provisions in Shelby County v. Holder (2013) and by making it harder to sue to stop discriminatory practices in Brnovich v. DNC (2021). The John Lewis Act would strengthen the law, moving us closer to ending discrimination in voting and guaranteeing equal access to the ballot.
Every election you are told this is the most important vote of your life. It is always true now. The forces arrayed against democracy have unlimited funds and no scruples. Republicans are working day and night to limit the access to the ballot and are disenfranchising voters who don’t support their damaging policies.
The Democratic Party has a solution: The Freedom To Vote Act. It will make voting easier, safer, and more accessible as well as protect administrators, poll workers and volunteers from harm and intimidation. Join us in support of this vital legislation and in calling out the opponents of voting rights.
