PFAW Member,

Civil Rights heroes like John Lewis fought hard for decades to protect and
expand rights for Black people, immigrants, and other communities that
have historically been marginalized. And yet, Republicans like Mitch
McConnell have shamefully continued their attacks on voting rights
nationwide.

We cannot continue to let Republican officials get away with decades of
racist attacks on our access to the ballot box. It is up to us to use our
grief to fulfill John Lewis’ legacy and get the John Lewis Voting Rights
Act passed to restore voting rights taken away in 2013.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and demand that Mitch McConnell hold a vote
immediately on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act! >>

The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act would restore and strengthen the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, including the provisions that were gutted by
the Roberts Court in its disastrous 5-4 Shelby County ruling in 2013.

Since that ruling, Republicans around the country have waged a continuing
assault on voting rights, enacting often-racist policies that make it
increasingly difficult to vote: by restricting voting hours, purging
countless eligible voters from the rolls, closing polling locations, and,
more recently, opposing attempts to expand voting by mail to allow more
people to vote safely and securely from home amid the pandemic.

With so many growing threats to the right to vote (including the more
recent attempt to undermine the postal service), it’s up to Americans who
care deeply about justice, equality, and DEMOCRACY, to stand up and fight
for that most sacred right.

[ [link removed] ]Join the countless people across the country calling on Senate
Republicans to hold a vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act – our right
to vote can’t wait! >>

The House of Representatives has already passed the legislation; it’s time
for the Senate to follow suit. We must put pressure on Mitch McConnell to
do his job and bring this historic legislation to a full vote in the
Senate to restore voting rights nationwide.

Thanks for all that you do,
