John,

The House of Representatives has passed the John Lewis Voting Rights
Advancement Act, a huge step towards securing the right to vote for all
Americans.

Unsurprisingly, not a single Republican voted for it.

The passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which will
strengthen and restore the landmark civil rights era Voting Rights Act of
1965, could not come at a better time as Republicans are ramping up
efforts to suppress the vote, using Trump’s Big Lie as an excuse.

Just this week, the Texas State House passed a bill that directly targets
people of color by both banning drive-through polling places and 24-hour
voting. They also gave more power to partisan poll watchers, making voter
intimidation more likely to happen.

So, while Democrats across the nation fight to protect our voting rights,
Republicans are working overtime to take them away.

If we're going to see the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act make
its way out of the Senate and onto President Biden’s desk, we’re going to
need all of us to stand up and raise our voices to demand they pass this
vital legislation now!

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was only signed into law because Americans
stood up and demanded change.

Following the 2013 Supreme Court decision to gut the Voting Rights Act,
several Republican-controlled states have increased their voter
suppression tactics that directly target people of color.

When passed, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will stop these
attacks on our right to vote by restoring and expanding upon the full
protections of the original Voting Rights Act of 1965.
