TAKE ACTION: Tell your Senators* to support the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act

The time has come for voting rights legislation to move forward in Congress. New legislation, passed by the US House today, will allow the US Senate to debate voting rights for the first time. The new legislation, HR 5746, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act will ensure that voters can safely and freely cast their ballots, stop partisan gerrymandering, limit the influence of dark money in politics, and hold elected officials and our institutions accountable.

Our country is at a pivotal point in our desperate fight for voting rights. We must ensure that the Senate holds to its promise to prioritize passing federal voting rights reforms. Join the countless Americans who have been the driving force behind making voting rights reform a continued goal of this Congress. With the midterm elections looming, state legislatures reconvening, and redistricting well underway, federal voting rights protections are needed now more than ever. Time is running short for crucial democracy and voting protections as we head into the 2022 midterm elections. Now is the time to raise our voices together.

Federal voting rights reforms are essential to the health of our democracy. The American people want and deserve reforms that will:

• Protect and ensure the freedom to vote;
• Address historical barriers to voting;
• Put a check on voting rights violations;
• Hold states and bad actors accountable; and
• Create a democracy that is representative of all Americans.

We need you in this fight for the freedom to vote. Implore your senators to support the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. Only with a united voice shouting for change will we get these vital voting rights bills passed to safeguard and strengthen our democracy.
