The gutting of the Voting Rights Act is a deliberate attempt to undermine Black voting power. It’s infuriating and wrong. We must show up strong in November to take back the House, stop the SAVE Act and instead, finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
With early voting happening in states across the country, @WeTheAction is looking for lawyers to help safeguard voting rights. If you’re a lawyer and want to help protect the vote in your community, I hope you’ll sign up:
The conservative Supreme Court is happy to gut the Voting Rights Act and allow partisan gerrymandering. Why did they draw the line at mail ballots? @NoahRFeldman explains (via @opinion)
61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law—enacting a pillar of American civil rights.
From the courts to the Congress, Republicans have repeatedly fought to gut this landmark legislation ever since.
It's past time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and ensure the right to vote is protected for generations to come.
Today, we commemorate the Voting Rights Act-legislation that safeguards every citizen's right to vote. The @CivilRights Division enforces the VRA through election monitoring efforts & strategic litigation to ensure Americans may make their voices heard!
After the white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court trampled the voting Rights Act of 1965, 61 years after marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, American Patriots are once again marching across the bridge in protest of racist Republican govs suppressing Black representation.
Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act.
MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power.
This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.
