This month, we’re celebrating the anniversary of the historic marches from Selma to Montgomery. 58 years ago, hundreds of people gathered to march along the miles-long highway to the state capital and demand access to the ballot box.
These brave leaders stood up and fought to ensure everyone could exercise their constitutional right to vote. In the heart of the Deep South – and in the face of Jim Crow – civil rights activists paved the way for the passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act.
Last year, I walked in their footsteps, celebrated the Voting Rights Act, and recognized the sacrifices of those who marched before us.
But this fight is far from over. Over the past few years, we’ve seen an outrageous assault on our right to vote – aimed squarely at communities of color.
In Georgia, Texas, and all across the nation, state legislatures have passed “Jim Crow 2.0” laws that are designed to weaken access to the ballot box. It’s all on the line right now and it’s going to take each and every one of us working together to defend our sacred right to vote.
I'm fighting for voting rights, for our democracy, and for the future of our nation – and I won’t stop fighting until we get the job done. Will you join me?
