There’s so much we can say today to honor the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 

But, as I sit in this moment, where voter suppression and anti-protest laws threaten to push Black, Latinx, and other people of color further to the margins of our fragile democracy, I realize that there is only one way to honor Dr. King: by taking action.

 

That’s why re:power is joining the King family and 150+ movement partners and advocating for legislative voting rights action NOW.

 

Join us and help make it clear to our elected leaders that there will be no celebration without legislation.

 

Here are a few ways you can get involved:

1. Sign the petition today and tell the Senate to stop voter suppression by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. 
2. Share this Facebook post urging the Senate to protect our #FreedomToVote.
3. Share this Instagram post and stand in solidarity with the King family.
4. Retweet this tweet and let everyone know that you will not accept empty promises from elected officials in pursuit of Dr. King’s dream.

We don’t want empty platitudes about Dr. King from elected officials today, or any day. They can channel his spirit and honor him by delivering for voting rights. 

 

President Biden and Congress invested trillions in our bridges, roads and trains. Now it’s time they deliver for our voting rights by passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting RIghts Advancement Act. 

 

We can't afford to wait any longer. Stand with us and help spread the word that it’s time to #DeliverVotingRights today.

 

In solidarity,

 

Karundi Williams
