REPOST! โ๐ฝ๐
Today marks the 56th anniversary of the
#VotingRightsAct of 1965. The VRA was one the most important pieces of civil rights legislation of the 20th century. But after 50 years of keeping our right to vote safe, a dangerous Supreme Court decision gutted the law โ leaving Americans open to dangerous voting rights infringements.
Today the VRA is in desperate need of reinforcement. Thatโs why weโre calling on Congress to pass the
#JohnLewisVotingRightsAct. Tap the ๐ in bio to call your Senator(s) and let them know that Americans need the VRA now more than ever.
