In the wake of the effort to overturn the 2020 election and spread the big lie that the election was stolen, state legislatures across the country have been introducing voter suppression bills in record numbers. There have been over 400 bills introduced across the country that contain provisions that make it harder to vote.
For decades, the 1965 Voting Rights Act helped protect against voter suppression laws. Unfortunately, in 2013 the Supreme Court stripped the Voting Rights Act of a key provision known as preclearance that helped prevent voter suppression. Since then, we have seen a startling increase in these types of laws passing throughout the country.
There is good news though. The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act has been introduced in the House. If this bill becomes law, it would restore the preclearance provision in the Voting Rights Act and help prevent voter suppression.
To protect and strengthen our democracy, Congress must pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Click below to send a message to your members of Congress today and urge them to support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement act.

Protecting the right to vote is essential if we hope to protect our democracy. Thank you for taking action!
Sincerely,
