It is imperative that Congress pass the For the People Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act before state legislatures and commissions begin to redraw districts. We need urgent federal action to secure fair districts, protect voters from partisan gerrymandering, and ensure their voices are heard.
With the recent Supreme Court ruling in Brnovich v. DNC further weakening the protections of the Voting Rights Act, the urgent need for federal action to protect the freedom to vote is greater than ever.
Americans across party lines support common sense national standards to protect the freedom to vote, and the U.S. Senate must continue to work together to reach a compromise.
This legislation is long overdue. We need to end dark money in politics, make it easier to vote, and to ensure our votes count by ending partisan gerrymandering. Please pass the For The People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act immediately!
