[ [link removed] ]sign the petition to restore the VRA

PFAW Member,

In 2013, the Roberts Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in their Shelby
County ruling, opening the floodgates for voter suppression efforts across
the country. Since that ruling, states and municipalities have closed
THOUSANDS of polling locations, purged at least 17 MILLION people from
voter rolls, and pushed gerrymandering to unconstitutional levels.

would strengthen voting rights!>>

All across the country we continue to witness voter suppression. As
recently as the 2018 midterm elections, 53,000 voter registrations were
put on hold in Georgia, nearly 70 percent of which belonged to black
voters, and North Carolina’s 2018 midterm election had nearly 20% fewer
early voting locations than there were in 2014.

This is a gross injustice and highlights just how urgent it is that we act
to protect voting rights!

In December, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Voting Rights
Advancement Act -- legislation that would update the Voting Rights Act for
the first time since it was last reauthorized in 2006. This legislation
will now go before the Senate.

The VRAA would establish a new formula to determine which states and
localities must receive preclearance from the Department of Justice before
making changes to their election laws and procedures.

We must ensure protection for every citizen’s right to vote. We cannot let
voting rights be eroded any further.

rights for all!>>

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
