On Wednesday, March 5th, U.S. Representative Terri Sewell (D-AL) introduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This bill would help realize the promise of American democracy by restoring, updating, and strengthening the protections of the Voting Rights Act for the 21st century.
Today, the Declaration for American Democracy coalition recognized the communities across the country that have been vocal on the need to pass transformative democracy legislation. In February, several Members of Congress addressed their constituents to reaffirm their support for the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act at in-district democracy roundtables, with several more currently in the planning stages in the coming weeks.
We thank President Biden for putting democracy front and center in his extremely strong speech, and urge him to follow up his words with action to protect our freedom to vote.
