The House returns from their August recess TOMORROW and we need your help
to remind them of Speaker Pelosi's promise to take up the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act right away.

[ [link removed] ]Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Sign now >>

Friend,

At long last, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 4) has
been reintroduced in the House of Representatives. Almost 20
GOP-controlled states have passed at least 30 laws that throttle access to
the ballot box this year alone, and hundreds of other vote suppression
bills have been introduced during that same time.

It’s abundantly clear that millions of eligible voters across the country
need the protections of H.R. 4.

[ [link removed] ]Can you help us reach 35,000 signatures in support of the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act before the House returns from its recess
next week? >>

Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) announced the bill’s reintroduction in front of
the same Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma where 56 years ago John Lewis
himself was beaten nearly to death in the fight for voting rights. Rep.
Lewis knew that the protections provided by the Voting Rights Act – first
passed five months after Bloody Sunday – were worth laying down his life.

Our fight today is just as fierce, and we cannot lose sight of what’s
important: Ensuring access to the ballot box by every single eligible
voter, no matter what they look like or where they live. House Majority
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has vowed to bring H.R. 4 to a vote as soon as
they return from their recess, and we need to hold them to their promise.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to urge Congress to swiftly take up and pass the John
Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. >>

Thank you for all your work to protect voting rights this year.

Ben Jealous, President
