Twelve years ago today, the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, and our voting rights have suffered ever since, John.

The Voting Rights Act was landmark legislation that affirmed the principle of one person, one vote.

Since the Shelby County v. Holder decision, states across the country have been free to ignore this guiding principle of democracy. We've seen an explosion of laws that allow politicians to pick their voters instead of the other way around.

That includes waves of voter ID laws designed to block millions of Americans from voting.

We know the solution for this crisis of democracy: We can pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore and update the protections we lost when the Supreme Court ruled in Shelby County v. Holder.

Send a message to our leaders: Ask them to restore voting rights by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

We can’t just play defense and try to stop bills that would leave millions of eligible voters out of the process (like the dangerous SAVE Act also introduced in the House). We also need to fight for what we want: An inclusive and accountable democracy that works for all of us.

We can work together to build power and demand a return to the principle of one person, one vote. Add your voice to our movement and urge leaders to support and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act! >> [link removed]
