CONGRESS DELIVERED FOR BRIDGES, NOW IT MUST DELIVER FOR VOTING RIGHTS. President Biden and Congress invested trillions in our bridges, roads and trains. Now voters are demanding they pass national voting rights legislation and deliver for democracy.
Dr. King’s family: Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and Yolanda Renee King–along with faith leaders, civil rights leaders, and voting rights advocates across the country – have called for us to focus on demanding voting rights legislation and access to the ballot box this year.
On Monday 1/17, communities across the country will honor Dr. King's legacy by demanding our elected officials pass the Freedom to Vote: John R Lewis Act, without letting outdated Senate loopholes get in the way.
We need to send a message to our leaders: no celebration without legislation.
Join us as we honor Dr. King with action.
