These crucial pieces of legislation would reform our campaign finance laws to get secret money out of our elections, end gerrymandering, and so much more. Crucially, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would restore a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that grants the Department of Justice power to “pre-clear” election rules in states with a history of voter suppression — a provision that was gutted by the Supreme Court in 2013. The right to vote is essential to our democratic experiment. We cannot allow attacks on our democracy to go unanswered.
Never give up and never give in. That’s what John Lewis would want us to do. Keep the faith, Hakeem |
