Throughout his lifetime, John Lewis was a stalwart warrior for the promise of American Democracy. We owe it to the legacy of John Lewis’ life of service to answer his end-of-life plea not to sit silent but to do our part to ensure that a robust American democracy continues.

Local elections happen annually in the United States. The officials elected and the decisions they make affect your daily life as much, if not more, than those in the federal government. From road repairs, schools, and urban planning to immigration and policing, local government is constantly present in every part of American life.
