Hi John — Did you see what
happened last week?

Hank was arrested while peacefully protesting for
voting rights in America. As Republicans around the country
continue to push restrictions on voting — particularly aimed at
Black folks — he won’t stop fighting to ensure everyone has equal
access to the ballot box.

Will
you help us out today by donating to our campaign so we can
continue fighting for voting rights?

Hi John — I got arrested
yesterday. Let me tell you why.

For all but the last 56 years of our nation’s
history, Black people have been denied the right to vote. Poll
taxes, literacy tests, and white primaries were devices used to
prevent us from voting. When that didn’t work, we were beaten and
killed for daring to exercise that right.

White and Black people have shed blood, and some
have died for the cause of ensuring that all citizens have the
right to vote, because they realized that if that right is denied
to any of us on account of race, then we really don't have a true
democracy.

Will you stand with me in my fight to protect the
right to vote for all citizens in this country?

Today our democracy is under attack, and one
crucial component in that attack are the cunning and fiendish
devices Republicans in states like Georgia and Texas are putting
in place to prevent the free exercise of the fundamental right to
vote, based on The Big Lie. And most unfortunately, the Supreme
Court’s 6-3 decision two weeks ago in the Brnovich case
significantly weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Justice Kagan’s dissent in the Brnovich case
raised the alarm: “The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is an
extraordinary law. Rarely has a statute required so much
sacrifice to ensure its passage. Never has a statute done more to
advance the Nation’s highest ideals. And few laws are more vital
in the current moment. Yet in the last decade, the Court has
treated no statute worse”.

I was arrested yesterday protesting at the Hart
office building, demanding filibuster reform, and that Congress
pass the H.R.4 and S.4, The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement
Act, and that the Senate pass S.1, the For the People Act to
ensure lasting voting protections for people of color. I won’t be
intimidated, we’ve had to fight for decades and we won’t stop
now.

I may have made headlines and my staff tells me
I’ve caused quite a stir online. But what doesn’t make headlines
are the many Black people who have to fight tooth and nail to
exercise their right as Americans.

Georgia is ground-zero in the fight to protect
voting rights. After Black organizers helped carry the state for
President Biden and flip the Senate Blue. Republicans know this,
and they are trying to remove Black voters from the equation.

Will you rush a donation today so we can fight
back against Republican efforts to disenfranchise Black voters?
