I am writing to demand that you pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act without delay. A true democracy depends on the active participation of its citizens, and the most fundamental right in that democracy is the right to vote. Every American citizen must be able to cast their ballot freely, and every vote must count the same—no matter their race, income, or zip code.
Yet across the country, we are witnessing a dangerous rollback of this sacred right. States are passing laws that:
• Close polling places disproportionately in Black, Latino, and rural communities.
• Impose strict voter ID requirements designed to keep students, the elderly, and low-income citizens from voting.
• Purge voter rolls without proper notification, stripping citizens of their rights.
• Limit mail-in voting and ballot drop boxes, making it harder for working families to participate.
• Gerrymander districts to dilute the voices of entire communities.
These are not the actions of a healthy democracy—they are the tactics of oppression. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is the safeguard we need to stop these abuses and to ensure that every American’s voice is heard and valued equally.
Congress has both the responsibility and the power to defend democracy. The right to vote cannot depend on where you live, the color of your skin, or how much money you make. It must be guaranteed, protected, and preserved for every rightful citizen.
Do your duty: pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now. Protect the vote. Protect democracy.
