The John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will restore critical provisions of the Voting Rights Act gutted by the Supreme Court. The bill will help stem the rush of attacks on voting rights across the country by ensuring that states with a recent history of voter discrimination are once again subject to federal oversight.
March On for Voting Rights will call on the Senate to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the For the People Act. Saturday, August 28th, millions will join the March On for Voting Rights in D.C., Phoenix, Atlanta, Houston, Miami and more than 40 other cities across the country to make their voices heard. We will also call for the Senate to remove the filibuster as a roadblock to critical voting rights legislation.
That’s why, on August 28, 2021, Washington State is joining Washington D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Phoenix and other cities across America to March On For Voting Rights!
