Texas Democrats are moving the dial on the biggest voting rights victory since 1965.

Hi Friend,

We did it. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act just passed the U.S. House of Representatives. This is a massive step toward passing the most important voting rights legislation since the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Friend, this victory is for all of us. And I want to be very clear. This is happening because of Texas Democrats. This crucial voting rights legislation has spent months languishing in Congress -- up until July 12, when our Texas Democratic lawmakers took our fight to D.C. and began rallying people across our entire country in the fight to protect the right to vote.

If this legislation is passed into law, it will protect the voices and votes of millions of Americans. Black and Brown Americans, voters with disabilities, working folks who have been sold out for far too long by callous politicians -- our communities have been cut off from the ballot box, and when we finally make our voices heard, we will roar.

That’s what the John Lewis Voting Rights Act is about. And because of Texas Democrats -- and because of this community, who’s been behind our legislators every step of the way -- we have cleared one major hurdle towards passing it.

Friend, the fight is not over. Right now, this second, we are ratcheting up our efforts to get this bill through the Senate -- and to pass the For the People Act alongside it. But tonight’s victory is the reason we fight, and the reason we keep going. We can’t do it without you. Rush $7 or whatever you can to take the fight for voting rights forward:

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party
