The Supreme Court just gutted the most important civil rights law in our country — the Voting Rights Act.
As of today, the landmark civil rights legislation NO LONGER fully protects minority voters from state-enacted voter suppression laws — especially in the South — as it has effectively done for nearly 4 decades. Today’s decision is a serious blow to democracy.
Look, we may not agree with the conservative majority’s ruling, but what’s done is done. Now it’s up to Congress to enact new legislation to protect the rights of voters, and it’s up to us to make them act:
Too many have fought too hard for too long to give up now. Do your part today.
Thanks,
