On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives reintroduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act — a critical bill that would strengthen and protect voting rights for millions of voters across the country. We need this legislation because:
Within the last year, more than 280 bills that restrict voter access have been introduced across the country, disproportionately impacting Black and Brown voters.
States have purged thousands of voters from the rolls with harsh voter ID laws.
The 2024 election cycle saw a record number of lawsuits about voter suppression.
This reintroduction comes just days before the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement when John Lewis and other activists risked their lives to secure the right to vote. As we commemorate this historic moment in Selma, we encourage everyone to uplift this legislation.
Please join us in support of this crucial legislation and contact your elected officials today!
