Hi there,
Every year on the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I’m reminded of this quotation:
“We are not makers of history; we are made by history.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The truth is, history has brought us to a point where we must decide whether we will defend the civil rights of every American – rights that Americans like Congressman John Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were willing to give their lives for – or whether we will allow our democracy to crumble.
Over the last few years, extremists have ramped up an all-out assault on voting rights. In the months after the January 6 insurrection, Republicans introduced over 400 voter suppression bills in 49 state legislatures, and dark-money groups spent tens of millions of dollars promoting them.
Our democracy is under siege, and it’s time to fight back against the continued efforts to enact discriminatory voter suppression laws, embrace Trump’s Big Lie, and undermine our democracy. I will never stop fighting to protect your voting rights and make it easier for every eligible American to cast their ballot.
We must not only recommit ourselves to the fight for justice for all Americans, but also show up and stand in solidarity.
With gratitude,
Bob
