Team -- this is a HUGE win for voting rights: We’ve passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
This landmark bill will:
- Restore the voting rights protections from the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that have been dismantled by the Supreme Court
- Ban many types of voter ID laws
- Require public notice for any changes made to voting laws in a state
Every single Nevadan should have the ability to safely and securely cast their vote, and with the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act, they’ll be able to. The only hurdle to passing this legislation: the Senate. We need all the support we can get to show the Senate how popular this bill is. Can you add your name to show your support for this critical legislation?
Being able to cast your vote is a guaranteed right as an American. Democracy works best when everyone’s voices are heard. Republicans in Congress are fighting against this piece of legislation because they know when we all vote, they lose.
This piece of legislation has passed the House, but the next hurdle is getting it through the Senate. It’s critical for the future of our democracy to pass this in the Senate. Add your name in support of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to show the Senate that this should be a priority.
Thank you,
Susie
