Folks,
60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became law.
It was the courage and sacrifice of Civil Rights marchers in Selma — who endured horrific violence on the Edmund Pettus Bridge — that helped lead to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA).
The VRA made a promise: no American would be denied the right to vote on account of their race.
Before I say more: if you believe in the promise of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, will you sign on to my petition today? [[link removed]]

Devastatingly, in 2013, the core of the VRA was struck down by a right-wing Supreme Court majority in the Shelby County v. Holder decision — a ruling that has had devastating consequences.
Today, all across the country, Republican lawmakers and far-right judges are pushing discriminatory laws that make it harder for people of color, seniors, and working families to vote. They’re weakening and ‘reinterpreting’ what’s left of the Voting Rights Act to make it easier to gerrymander maps, purge voters rolls, and silence our voices.
As the proud daughter of Selma, I know this fight is far from over. That’s why I recently introduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and strengthen the Voting Rights Act — and I need your voice beside mine.
👉 Will you sign my petition to help protect the legacy of Selma and stand for free, fair, and accessible elections? [[link removed]]
