The time has come for voting rights legislation to move forward in Congress. New legislation, passed by the US House, 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.
