[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act! >>

Friend,

Just this week House Democrats passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, a
historic piece of legislation that would help restore and strengthen the
Voting Rights Act, which has been gutted by recent Supreme Court rulings.

Now, it awaits passage in the Senate where it, along with other voting
rights legislation such as the For the People Act, is currently blockaded
by far-right senators who are doing everything they can to support the
voter suppression measures being enacted across the country. We must not
let them win.

Now more than ever we must stand up to the forces that are working against
us in one of the largest concerted efforts to prevent people from casting
their vote and have that vote counted. We must stand up for our democracy
and urge our elected officials in Congress to protect that sacred right.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and DEMAND that the Senate pass the John Lewis
Voting Rights Act and eliminate the filibuster if necessary to do that! >>

The John Lewis Voting Rights Act would restore the original preclearance
requirements that were gutted by the Supreme Court’s 2013 Shelby County
decision, add new nationwide requirements, and provide additional vital
protections to increase the VRA's effectiveness in protecting voting
rights across the country.

These protections are especially important now as nearly 20 states have
passed over 30 bills designed to restrict access to the ballot box. And
unless the Senate acts quickly, we’ll run out of time to prevent the worst
of this new wave of state laws from taking effect before the 2022 midterm
elections, not to mention the havoc they would create for the next
presidential election.

[ [link removed] ]It’s time for the Senate to act to protect our democracy – sign the
petition now urging the Senate to pass the John Lewis VRA >>

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

Ben Jealous, President
