Our right to vote, the linchpin of democracy, is under attack. Concerned people in each community in the country should understand the severity of the threat and what we can do to stop it. In Limestone County, Alabama, we will hold an online event, which makes it easier for people to participate from wherever they are due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will include individuals and groups describing the breadth and depth of the problem, and how we should respond. We must not allow the destruction of our representative democracy.

“March On for Voting Rights” is a mass mobilization to demand that elected officials stop hijacking democracy, denounce voter suppression and ensure fair, easy access to the vote for all. On August 28th, the 58th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic March on Washington, we will march on cities across America to demand that the vision of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech be deferred no longer.

We invite all Americans who believe in the power and sanctity of democracy and free elections to join us. Marches will take place across the U.S. including Athens, Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; Miami, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; Houston, Texas; Washington, D.C.; and many other cities and small towns.

Thank you to our event partners.
