U.S. voters shape the futures of people here and abroad. Let’s protect the right to vote!

Six unelected justices on the Supreme Court have gutted crucial, hard fought protections against racial discrimination in voting.

Justice Elena Kagan dissented, noting that the consequences of the Court’s “demolition” of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) “are likely to be far-reaching and grave.”

This ruling is likely to set off a firestorm of gerrymandering, hollowing out the voting power of Black people and other communities of color while maximizing partisan gains.

It’s not an exaggeration to say our representative democracy is at stake, and with it the future of U.S. foreign policy. So we’re joining the demands for Congress to act now. That includes passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore and strengthen federal protections against racial discrimination in voting.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais has gutted crucial provisions that prevented racial discrimination in voting. Congress must restore and strengthen these protections by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
