The U.S. Supreme Court just undermined the federal Voting Rights Act. Again.

As one prominent observer wrote in Slate Magazine, "In theory, the Voting Rights Act still stands. In reality, it has been flattened into meaningless symbolism."

The Court made it much harder to challenge voting laws that discriminate - virtually paving the way for even more restrictions on the right to vote.

Don't just get mad. Get Congress to act. Whether through the "For the People Act" or the "John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act," Congress can help heal the wound that the Supreme Court has inflicted on the Voting Rights Act. Add your name now and demand action →

In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan described the Court's decision as "a law-free zone," adding "What is tragic here is that the Court has (yet again) re-written - in order to weaken - a statute that stands as a monument to America's greatness, and protects against its baseless impulses."

The Supreme Court reminded us that we have work to do to make democracy real for everyone. I'm not done working to end discrimination in voting, and neither are you. We need to get Congress to act. Add your name now → [link removed]

Thanks for taking action,
