John,

Since the 2020 election, the Voting Rights Act has been under attack. You see, there are some (we’re looking at you, Republican Party) that think elections only count when they win. That’s not how democracy works.

Passed in 1965, the Voting Rights Act ensures that no federal, state, or local government can, in any way, impede people from voting because of their race. However, Republicans are not just trying to weaken the Act – they want to overturn it.

We can’t let that happen. Everyone who wants to vote should have the right to vote! Add your name, telling Congress to protect the Voting Rights Act.

At Food & Water Action, we help people build their political power and hold elected officials accountable. We fight against systems that keep people from voting. This year’s election presents our biggest opportunity yet to create a positive impact on our democracy and the health of our planet.

Electing climate champions will be critical in creating the change we need to see in the world — change that protects our food, water, and climate.

Every eligible voter, regardless of their race, address, background, or circumstances, should be able to participate in our democracy.

Attempts by Members of Congress to undermine a person’s ability to vote for any reason is just one way they seek to keep corporate control over our resources. That’s why we need you to add your name to defend our democracy by protecting the Voting Rights Act.

Together, we can ensure a future where everyone has an equal say in elections.

Onward together,

Mitch Jones
Deputy Director
Food & Water Action
