Today’s Action: Honor Black History Month – Stop voter suppression!
From slavery to Jim Crow; the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matters, African Americans have had to fight for the most basic recognition of humanity and rights. And despite the centuries of systemic oppression, Black Americans continue to achieve at the highest level and make pivotal contributions to our communities and country again and again.
February is Black History Month, a time to honor the historic struggle and successes but also recommit ourselves to a fight that is far from over.
One of the key victories of the Civil Rights movement was the 1965 Voter Rights Act, which brought unprecedented protection against racially-motivated voter suppression.
But in 2013, the Supreme Court eliminated key protections of the Voter Rights Act (VRA), sparking a fresh wave of racist voting restrictions. Now, it falls to Congress to correct this miscarriage of justice.
Since the gutting of the VRA, voter suppression can only be challenged after rules have been enacted and the damage is done. The VRAA would not only restore the spirit of the Voter Rights Act of 1965, it would make it stronger.
What better way to honor Black History Month than by restoring and strengthening the vital work of the heroes of the Civil Rights movement?
Email or call (202.224.3121) your Members of Congress now. Demand they honor the heroes of the past and protect the leaders of the future by supporting the VRAA today.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition calling for Trump Jr. to testify publicly about his secret Russia meeting, and join the vast majority of Americans demanding Congress protect Dreamers NOW!
