John,

On March 7, 1965, in Selma, Alabama, the late Congressman John Lewis led over 600 activists across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to demand an end to racist voter suppression.

The plan was to march 54 miles to Montgomery, Alabama. But it was cut short when state troopers and sheriff's deputies brutally beat the peaceful marchers. Dozens were hospitalized and injured, including Congressman Lewis — which is why we remember this day as Bloody Sunday.

Listen: If Congressman Lewis were still with us, I know he would be at the forefront of the continued struggle to defend the sacred right to vote. Today, Republicans have proposed countless voter suppression bills and passed dozens of laws nationwide that disenfranchise mainly Black voters — the same tactics used for decades to try and silence our voices.

Together, we need to call on Congress to pass legislation that will restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and protect the fundamental right to vote. If you're with me in the fight to expand voting rights, please add your name next to mine on today's anniversary.
