Jack, sign the petition to Congress: Restore the Voting Rights Act and our freedom to vote!
SIGN THE PETITION
Ten years ago, the Supreme Court's Shelby County decision gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act—opening the floodgates to a wave of restrictive voting bills, extreme gerrymandering, voter roll purges, and polling location closures targeting frontline communities.
By creating barriers to voting, right-wing extremists have been able to effectively slow or roll back progress on everything from climate action to healthcare.
Congress must take decisive action to safeguard our freedoms. That starts by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Together, these laws propose establishing nationwide voting standards to improve ballot access, eliminate both partisan and race-based redistricting, shield elections from external influences, and enhance campaign finance transparency to deter the influence of undisclosed donations, among other measures.
Equal opportunity to participate in our democracy and to vote is fundamental to its health and integrity. Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
SIGN THE PETITION
Keep fighting,
