John,

Here’s what just happened:

A federal appeals court ruled that private citizens can’t sue under a core section of the Voting Rights Act.

That’s a massive break from decades of settled law. And it would mean that only the U.S. Department of Justice—not you, not your community, not organizations that work for justice—could challenge racial discrimination at the ballot box.

It’s a radical, dangerous precedent, and one that’s headed straight for the Supreme Court.

Steve Simon is standing firm. He’s made it clear: Minnesota will stand up to preserve the right of ordinary people to seek relief under the Voting Rights Act.

We need to be ready. Stand with Steve and help us defend democracy and protect the right to vote. Will you make a donation of $5 or more today?

This is the moment to show up. Let’s do it together.

—Team Simon
