60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law—protecting the right to vote for millions.
That legacy is under attack, but our fight isn’t over. Every voice matters. Every vote counts. We must keep pushing for a democracy that works for everyone. #VotingRights #VRA60

John Lewis taught us that “Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part.”
We must continue the struggle by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
