R.Hunter,

When I walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge into Selma, Alabama, earlier this month, I had a draft of the bill to repair the Voting Rights Act in my pocket.

I believe we can't truly honor the work of the civil rights leaders who marched across that bridge 50 years ago this month if we don't protect the rights they fought to achieve. Yet all over the country, states are taking aggressive action to restrict access to the ballot box.

Congress must take action to protect our most fundamental right for all Americans and fix the Voting Rights Act. Add your name and join me in calling on Congress to restore voting rights for all Americans.

The Voting Rights Act was a critical victory in the civil rights movement, outlawing discriminatory voting practices and ensuring the ballot box was available to all Americans. However, two years ago the Supreme Court struck down crucial protections - and opened the door for restrictions on voting around the country.

The work of the civil rights movement is still not complete. Yet no Republican senators have acted to address the Supreme Court case that gutted the Voting Rights Act. 

We must all stand together and say: We will not rest until voting rights are protected for all Americans. Tell Congress that action can't wait: Restore voting rights now.

Sign your name and demand that Congress repair the Voting Rights Act now!

As long as people are denied access to the ballot box, the march that began in Selma will go on.  

Thank you,

Chris
