VIDEO: Civil Rights Leaders Join Together to Push for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
As our nation prepares to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, civil rights leaders, joined by Rep. Terri Sewell, D. Ala., showed their support for today’s reintroduction of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This legislation is critical to restoring and strengthening the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and ensuring that every voter has equal access to the ballot. As the right to vote faces unprecedented threats, it is imperative for Congress to act.
