[ [link removed] ]Good Trouble Vigil. Saturday July 17 nationwide. Sign up now >>

People For Member,

This Saturday marks one year since the passing of Congressman and civil
rights hero John Lewis. Within that year, the Far Right’s attacks on
voting rights have grown fiercer than at any time in modern memory, with a
wave of racist state legislative attacks on the right to vote reminiscent
of the Jim Crow era.

We’re mobilizing on Saturday July 17 with activist partners across the
country for hundreds of in-person vigils in honor of John Lewis and to
support the critical bills that he spent the latter part of his life
working to get passed: the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting
Rights Act. We need your help to sound the alarm about the danger facing
our democracy if these two bills are not passed.

[ [link removed] ]RSVP now to join a “Good Trouble Vigil for Democracy” event near you
this Saturday. >>

Each event will honor Rep. Lewis’s legacy and bravery in the fight for
voting rights with inspirational remarks by local faith, youth, and
political leaders. If you attend, please make sure to follow both CDC and
local public health guidelines regarding face masks and social distancing.

To have any chance at halting the new wave of state voter suppression
bills and preventing new ones from being enacted, we must demand that
Congress pass both the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights
Act. This is not an either-or discussion.

[ [link removed] ]Join us this Saturday to honor John Lewis by keeping the fight for
voting rights going strong. >>

Rep. Lewis always said that we need to get into good trouble, necessary
trouble, to fight for what’s right. I hope you can join us this weekend to
get into some good trouble in his name.

Thank you for everything you do,

Ben Jealous, President
