Dear John,

Fifty-five years ago this month, on a day now known as Bloody Sunday, civil rights protestors, led by my friend, now-Congressman John Lewis, peacefully crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama to demand equal voting rights, but were met with unthinkable violence that forever changed our country.

This weekend, I was honored to join a civil rights pilgrimage to Alabama to mark the 55th anniversary of Bloody Sunday with Congressman Lewis and many others. We crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, locked arm in arm, to honor the brave men and women who sacrificed so much to make sure their voices were heard.

Despite the progress we've made, the march for civil rights and voting rights for all Americans continues today, because the reality is that it's getting harder, not easier, to cast a ballot in the United States, and the progress we've made to expand civil rights is at risk.

Let the 55th anniversary of Bloody Sunday serve as an inspiring reminder of how far we've come, but also a sobering reminder of all the work we still have ahead. Add your name so I know you're in this fight with me.
