It’s the 56th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, which provided groundbreaking voting protections to communities of color.
The VRA is proof that ordinary people can come together to make extraordinary progress. But we can’t let up the pressure or take our eyes off the prize -- the unrelenting attacks on voting rights that continue to this day are evidence that we can never stop fighting.
After the Roberts Court gutted a key provision of the VRA, removing the requirement that certain states get election laws cleared by the Department of Justice before they could go into effect, gerrymandered state legislatures rushed to pass voter suppression measures.
Today, on the 56th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we’re reminded that the fight to protect voting presses on. Our movement cannot wait for change -- we have to make change ourselves. Can you chip in today as our fight continues?

It’s been 56 years since Congress passed the Voting Rights Act -- and eight years since key protections were struck down by the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to continue fighting to make sure everyone in this country has a fair chance to make their voices heard.
