For two decades, Advancement Project National Office has championed an affirmative and explicit right to vote.
The lack of an affirmative right to vote in our Constitution is tied to the history of racism in America, as the founders compromised on this right to accommodate slave states. Hundreds of years after the founding of this country we are still fighting this original sin.
In the midst of preparing for an incredibly important and monumental election, enshrining the affirmative and explicit right to in the U.S. Constitution is how we will continue to build power in communities of color.
Constitution Day commemorates the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787. We know that the right to vote for people of color was not even considered then, and that it is past time to ensure a free and safe democracy, where every vote counts.
