Hello,

Last year marked the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — one of the voting rights movement's most significant achievements.

President Lyndon B. Johnson stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and civil rights leaders when he signed it into law. This landmark legislation prohibited racial discrimination at the ballot box during the era of Jim Crow laws and expanded voting rights for millions of Americans.

Since then, the Supreme Court has gutted and weakened the VRA. In October, SCOTUS justices heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, a case that will decide whether Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) protections is constitutional in Louisiana’s redistricting map.

We’re calling on Congress to carry on MLK's legacy by restoring our voting protections under the VRA. Join us in demanding Congress take action and pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now →

SIGN PETITION →

If passed, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would reinstate voter protections, end partisan gerrymandering, implement same day voter registration nationwide, establish Election Day as a federal holiday, and so much more.

Thanks for raising your voices and taking action.

— Voting Rights Fund

Voting Rights Fund wasn’t created just to defend voting rights — we elect the leaders who will expand and protect them. Our aim is to keep our operational costs as low as possible, so a majority of our funds go toward doing the work that needs to be done. That means building a national bench of lawmakers who will fight tooth and nail to expand access to the ballot box and protect our right to vote at every level of government.
