Support the Voter Rights Act

The removal of critical protections from the Voting Rights Act of 1965 catalyzed a race to stop people of color from voting, especially in the aftermath of the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, which entailed a surge in participation by people of color. Since then, states have been able to engage in voter suppression with impunity, often purposefully targeting people of color through tactics including voter purges, restraints on voter registration, absentee voting, and more. The price of inaction is high, and history shows it. I am calling on you to support the Voting Rights Act just passed by the house.
