July 17, 2024, marks the fourth anniversary of Congressman John Lewis's death! On that day, we will come together in events across the country to commemorate his death and, more importantly, his life work to secure voting rights for all people.

With the ongoing attack on democracy, the events will highlight the urgency of this moment in our history. We intend to educate, motivate, and activate our community to work towards the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Freedom to Vote Act, the Native American Voting Rights Act, and DC Statehood.
