Today marks 59 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed into law. This landmark legislation was pivotal in dismantling the barriers to voting for millions of Americans, ensuring fair and equal access to the ballot. But in recent years, these protections have been under attack. 

That’s why today, our Executive Director Anna Chu authored a piece in Law360 outlining the unique role that lawyers can play in fighting back against these voter suppression efforts. At We The Action, our volunteers have been at the forefront of this fight, using their legal expertise to defend and advance voting rights. Today, we are reminded that our work is far from over.
