VOTING RIGHTS NOW!
VOTING RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!
JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ACT: H.R.4 and S 4263
Forty-eight states have introduced 389 voter suppression bills. Many have already become law. We must protect voting rights.
In addition to "marching on," the national LWV is imploring us to call our representatives and urge them to vote for H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Please call daily, as the vote will happen soon: Tom Tiffany: 202-225-3365
