This critical election year, remember that the right to vote was achieved through the struggles, risks and sacrifices of ordinary people. Learn from our history, vote and help to mobilize others in your community.
The 60th anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) reminds us that we need to not only preserve the protections of the VRA — and reinstate those that have been removed or diluted — but also to strengthen voting rights to achieve a thriving democracy in the United States. The VRA is more than a legacy of the Civil Rights Movement; it remains essential for ensuring equal access to the ballot.
