Urge the Senate to Pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act!

TO: U.S. SENATE

Because every American has a fundamental right to participate in our democracy, we urge the Senate to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act (H.R. 4) to protect voters against discrimination and harassment in the voting process.

Now, more than ever, it is necessary to honor the legacy of John Lewis by restoring and strengthening the Voting Rights Act in order to combat voter suppression and protect our fundamental right to vote.

After the Supreme Court gutted the heart of the Voting Rights Act in its Shelby County ruling, voters in cities and states that were once protected by federal oversight began facing new laws that made it harder to vote – laws that disproportionately affected people of color.

The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act is a chance to honor the legacy of the late civil rights icon and congressman while restoring protections against this kind of discrimination and help ensure that every American is able to exercise their fundamental right to participate in our elections.
