John Lewis: โ€œThe vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."

The work to ensure equal access to the ballot is not done. We must protect our freedom to vote.

In 2023, we have fewer federal voting rights protections than we had in 1965. On what wouldโ€™ve been Rep. John Lewisโ€™ 83rd birthday, it's time for Congress to protect our freedom to vote and restore the VRA.

John Lewis faced brutality from state troopers for marching across the Edmund Pettus bridge in support of the Voting Rights Act.

Congress must continue his fight by restoring the VRA and protecting our freedom to vote!
