John,

On September 9, 1957, President Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957 into law. It followed the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision and came during a period of resistance across the South. Yet even in the face of opposition, Black and Brown communities rose up to demand equality and refused to be silent. Their action ensured that the Civil Rights Act of 1957, although limited, laid the foundation for the stronger protections that followed — including the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Today, our challenge is different but just as urgent. Local elections are happening right now, and the barriers to participation — from voter purges to misinformation — are real. That’s why we need your support to meet this moment. Will you chip in $10 today to help us register voters, protect access to the ballot, and empower communities to make their voices heard?

Friend, history shows us that even when the odds are stacked against us, even when the wins feel small, they can change the future. It happens step by step, election by election — especially in our local communities, where decisions about schools and our neighborhoods are made. So, now it’s our turn. Will you join us? 

— Nandi
