Friend, this is unacceptable.

On August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act was passed to end discriminatory voting practices. This important law made sure that Black Americans and other voters of color were not denied their right to participate in our democratic process.

Unfortunately, this act was gutted by a 2013 Supreme Court decision, which allowed voter suppression to run rampant. This has taken the form of states enacting strict voter ID laws, purging voter rolls, shutting down polling stations, and more. And we’ve already seen hours-long lines to vote on primary day in Georgia and Kentucky this year.

This is making it harder for everyone to vote — especially people of color. Enough is enough.

In honor of Rep. John Lewis, who put his body on the line to secure equal voting rights for all — and with the most important election of our lifetimes just a few months away — it’s critical that Congress act NOW to block discriminatory voting practices.

Join us in demanding that Congress restore the Voting Rights Act immediately.

Thank you for your support.
