Tell your representatives they must act NOW to protect
voting rights
The Supreme Court just made a major decision that impacts voting rights for
every American. In striking down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act -- but
leaving Section 5 untouched -- there is no longer a mechanism in place to
prevent states with a history of voter disenfranchisement from enacting such laws.
While this is a setback, it is by no means the end of the game. The Supreme
Court's decision gives Congress complete authority to ensure no person is denied
the right to vote.
Communities of color, and young, women, elderly, and disabled
voters are at risk. Tell Congress to take immediate action to protect
the voting rights for millions of Americans. Sign our petition today.
