Voting rights are in SERIOUS danger...  Trump’s extremist Supreme Court Justices are preparing to GUT the key remaining parts of the Voting Rights Act, clearing the way for racist gerrymandering and cementing Trump’s MAGA majority in Congress. We MUST fight back!
We’re collecting signatures to demand Congress SAVE the Voting Rights Act before the Supreme Court dismantles it. Add your name immediately on behalf of Democrats in your state >> The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed 60 years ago – but to this day, our right to vote is under attack across the country:
⇒ In Georgia, Republicans PURGED nearly half a million registered voters from their voter rolls.
⇒ In Texas and North Carolina, Republicans are RIGGING their Congressional maps to give themselves more seats in the House.
Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans will stop at nothing to SILENCE Black voters and make it harder for Americans to vote – and the Supreme Court is enabling their every move.
That’s why top Democrats like Sen. Cory Booker are calling for Congress to ACT and SAVE our right to vote!  Sen. Booker is right – we need Congress to step up and save the Voting Right Act before it’s too late. Please – sign our petition now to DEMAND Congress save our right to vote >> American democracy will live and die with voting rights. Thank you for taking action.
