TO DO: Voting Rights Act

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.
