Before peaceful protesters marched for equal voting rights in Selma, Alabama, Tennessee was a crucial battleground in the early Civil Rights movement, influencing advocates like John Lewis in his fight against Jim Crow.

But decades later, history is repeating itself in Tennessee:

After the Supreme Court’s Shelby v. Holder ruling weakened the Voting Rights Act of 1965, there’s been a spike in restrictive voting laws in Tennessee.

This is raising alarm bells for Southern organizers. Investing in these fights across the Deep South, as well as Appalachia and the Plains, ensures we can stop restrictive voting policies before they spread to other states.

Combatting voting suppression is an ongoing fight, and Groundwork is powering organizers working year-round to secure democracy for all.

We can’t let history repeat itself. Can you fuel local organizers leading the fight for equal voting rights with a $5 donation today?
