Congress: Amend the Constitution to guarantee the right to vote for every eligible citizen.
Why is this important?
The Supreme Court just struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act -- invalidating a key achievement of the Civil Rights Movement, that protected voting rights for people of color in areas with long histories of voting discrimination.
The right to vote is the foundation on which our democracy was built -- yet our Constitution does not guarantee that right for all eligible citizens.
In the court decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said that “things have changed dramatically” since 1965. Yet with increasing Republican attempts to limit voting rights through voter ID and other measures, it’s hard to see what’s so changed.
Tell Congress to strengthen our democracy and pass a Constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote.
