Political figures and organizations are advocating for the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to combat voter suppression and protect voting rights. The Act aims to strengthen voter protections and restore critical safeguards that were weakened in 2013 by the Supreme Court. Lawmakers are pushing for action to ensure safe and secure elections for all Americans, emphasizing the importance of democracy and civic participation.
59 years ago, Martin Luther King led a peaceful march from Selma to Montgomery in the fight for voting rights. In honor of MLK, John Lewis, and the many who came before them, it’s time to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
It's been 59 years since MLK Jr., John Lewis and countless other heroes marched from Selma to Montgomery to secure the right to vote for all Americans. We cannot allow Republicans to undo all that they worked, advocated and bled for. We must pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
Just in the last year, lawmakers have introduced over 350 restrictive voting bills in 47 states—many which are only possible because of the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. We *must* pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect the right to vote.
Voting rights is the framework in which we get to fight for everything we care about—and I won’t stop pushing until we pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & the Freedom to Vote Act. https://t.co/OsKDLWxazq
Even after the Voting Rights Act of 1965, marginalized communities continue to face voter suppression. This is why we continue to advocate for the passage of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act Amendment, which will strengthen voter protections for all. https://t.co/DtHzonDORp

The Voting Rights Act is in peril. https://t.co/rqLzE8x8vr
We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore critical protections for voters that the Supreme Court gutted in 2013. We’re at a critical moment for our democracy—I’m pushing for action. https://t.co/sWLg5kqejy
Across the Country, MAGA extremists are trying to make it HARDER for you to vote. But people are fighting back, letting their reps know where they stand! I’m a proud co-sponsor of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act so that every American can vote in safe and secure elections. https://t.co/ukHpb66sNn
