John:

Recently, conservative judges on a federal court further gutted the Voting Rights Act, ruling that "only the federal government — not private citizens or civil rights groups — is allowed to sue under a key section of the landmark civil rights law." Congress must protect everyone’s freedom to vote by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act!.

This ruling comes a decade after the Supreme Court initially stripped a central component of the Voting Rights Act, allowing many GOP-led states to pounce on the opportunity and pass laws restricting voting rights.

There are two voter protection bills that have been introduced in Congress that can be passed and enacted right now: the Freedom to Vote Act (FTVA) and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRAA). It's imperative we get them passed to protect our democracy.

Sign the petition: Congress must protect everyone’s freedom to vote by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act!

Thank you,
