John,

For decades, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) was a critical check against anti-democratic efforts to silence and suppress the voices of millions of voters by blocking discriminatory voting laws before they could take effect.

Then, in 2013, the Supreme Court's Shelby County decision gutted the VRA, opening the floodgates to a wave of restrictive voting bills, extreme gerrymandering, voter roll purges and polling location closures targeting voters of color.

Now, voting rights are under attack nationwide as states controlled by opponents of voting rights continue to pass voter suppression laws.

Equal opportunity to vote and participate in our democracy is a fundamental right. Congress has a duty to uphold this freedom by passing key legislation, thereby reinforcing and expanding the Voting Rights Act's protections.

Sign our petition to Congress: Please do everything you can to fight voter suppression  >>

Congress must do everything it can urgently to protect our freedom to vote.

That includes passing the Freedom to Vote Act (FTVA) and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (VRAA) – transformative legislation that together would restore and modernize the full protections of the VRA, set national standards to increase access to the ballot box, neutralize partisan and racial gerrymandering, protect our elections from foreign interference, increase transparency in campaign finance, and more.

The FTVA and John Lewis VRAA would ensure that every eligible American has access to the ballot box and protection against anti-democratic attacks in state legislatures across the nation.

Add your name: Congress must restore the Voting Rights Act and our freedom to vote. Pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act! >>

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.

Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.

Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights?
