Friends, the right to vote is under attack: Roughly 2.7 million eligible Americans have been purged from the voter rolls at the GOP’s direction – and in recent primaries, many voters lucky enough to remain registered have waited five or six hours in line to vote. If we don’t act now, millions more could face this assault on their democratic right to vote.

That’s because although the Voting Rights Act of 1965 made enormous strides to help Black Americans vote, in 2013, the Supreme Court struck down critical parts of the VRA. Almost immediately, Republican leaders went to work blocking Black and other vulnerable voters from the ballot box. And their plan has been working.

Thankfully, a bill to restore the VRA has passed the House – but it has been sitting on Mitch McConnell’s desk for nearly 250 days. If we’re going to fight the GOP’s extreme voter suppression efforts, Democrats need to unite RIGHT NOW to demand the Senate restore the VRA. But we're still 372 signatures short of our can't-miss goal and noticed that you haven't signed yet.

Please, to ensure all Americans have access to the ballot box, we need you to take action now: Add your name to demand Congress restore the Voting Rights Act!
