Dear MoveOn member,
The late Congressman John Lewis dedicated his life to fighting for civil rights, including expanding and protecting the right to vote, from his early days as one of the original Freedom Riders and leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to his final days fighting for us in Congress.
But, now, following Donald Trump's Big Lie of a stolen election, right-wing lawmakers across the country have introduced more than 250 bills designed to make it more difficult for Black people, people of color, and young people to vote.1
MoveOn is fighting back by building the support needed to pass critical federal voting rights legislation through the Senate. To get the word out and ramp up the pressure, we just printed a big batch of these John Lewis voting rights stickers, and we're giving them away for free—while supplies last.
John, we are learning that conservative groups are dumping more than $10 million into an effort to kill the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.2
These two landmark federal bills would reform our democracy and secure the right to vote for millions of voters of color and young voters, which is why MoveOn is campaigning hard to build the support needed to pass these bills through the Senate.
But the right-wing billionaires and their lackeys in Congress will stop at nothing to obstruct this critical legislation.
There's never been a better time to show the world that you stand for equitable access to the ballot for ALL voters.
Click here to get your FREE John Lewis sticker to publicly show your support for voting rights.
Thanks for all you do.
