Supporter,
Today is the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act!
We need to send a powerful message to Congress that Americans demand protections for our sacred right to vote!
Help us get to 50,000 signatures in the next 48 hours. We're already more than halfway there!
It's been six years since the Supreme Court gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in the 5-4 Shelby County ruling. You know how the story goes from there...
Voters in cities and states that were once protected by federal oversight have faced a new flood of discriminatory laws that make it harder to vote. (States like North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas... policies like restrictive voter ID, reduction in polling hours, and the shuttering of the most accessible polling places for minority communities... )
The Voting Rights Advancement Act is a chance to restore vital protections against this kind of discrimination and bring the VRA back up to full strength in the modern era.
Add your name immediately to pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act>>
We’ve been fighting for legislation to restore the VRA's full strength for years and now we finally have the chance to get it passed ... and not a moment too soon, as the Right has become increasingly reliant on voter suppression tactics to win elections and they show no sign of slowing down in their efforts to make it harder for people to vote!
We can't let the Right keep using voter suppression to steal elections.
Thanks for all you do.
-- PFAW
