BREAKING: GOP moving forward with largest number of voter suppression bills (106 and counting) in history. John — After Republicans failed to overturn the results of the 2020 election, they’re now moving to restrict voting access in 28 states to give themselves an electoral advantage. In the three months since the election, Republicans have introduced an unprecedented 106 voter suppression bills in state legislatures across the country. Now more than, we need the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to be signed into law. 203 signatures requested from District of Columbia: Call on Congress to protect the right to vote by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. 
Republicans are rushing to deny millions of Americans from being able to vote by mail and to restrict their access to early and absentee voting. We cannot overstate the threat this represents: This is the largest number of bills attempting to restrict voting ever introduced in U.S. history — more than at the height of the Civil Rights Movement or under Jim Crow. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act restores the Voting Rights Act to full force after it was gutted in the 2013 Shelby v. Holder Supreme Court decision. It then expands on those critical protections and creates a process to block Republicans from suppressing voters and enacting policies we know to be discriminatory in nature (Voter ID laws, requiring multiple forms of ID to absentee vote, shuttering early voting locations, etc). We can’t take our democracy nor our right to vote for granted — It’s on us to protect this sacred right and the way we can best do that is by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act without delay: action.314actionfund.org/signup/Pass-John-Lewis-Act/
