John,

This week 95 years ago, the Supreme Court struck down a Texas
law that kept Black voters from participating in primary elections.
The court correctly said the Texas law was a “direct and obvious
infringement” of the Constitution.

That should have been the end of the issue. But as we all know,
it wasn’t. Voting rights are at stake right now. Will you help protect
every American’s right to vote and our democracy?

The Texas legislature tried again, passing a slightly different version
of the law allowing Black voters to be excluded from primary elections.
In 1932, the Supreme Court struck it down again. Then in 1944, they
struck down another Texas law trying to do the same thing. This was
just one of the many injustices carried out during the Jim Crow era.

And as we all know, Texas is still trying to exclude Black people from
voting today. And so is Georgia. And so are many other states. Sure,
they’ve become more clever at trying to hide their intentions, but at the
end of the day, the result is the same. They’re trying to keep people
who don’t look like them or vote like them from exercising their vote or
using their voice.

But John, the Supreme Court isn’t going to
help us this time. The conservative majority on the court already gutted
key parts of the Voting Rights Act in 2013. And the court has only
become more right-wing since then, with a 6-3 conservative supermajority.

That means that it’s up to Congress to push back against discriminatory
state voting laws. Hank will continue to defend the voting rights of every
American as long as he’s in Congress. Will you make a contribution to
help protect our voting rights against ultraconservative state governments
and a right-wing Supreme Court?
