Historic voting rights legislation is now moving quickly through Congress, and we need your help to get senators on the floor of the United States Senate, speaking out in favor of voting rights.

A House committee combined the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act into one bill with a new name – the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

This bill passed the House and is FINALLY up for debate in the Senate. We need as many senators as possible to give a floor speech in support of voting rights to show the country what is at stake and who is on the right side of history.

This bill contains what activists have been pushing for over the past several months – like protections for eligible voters, nationwide standards to ensure ballot access, provisions to help end gerrymandering, limits on Big Money’s influence, and safeguards against partisan election sabotage – and repairs and strengthens the Voting Rights Act.

No matter what state you live in, your call can make a major difference in how many senators take the floor to speak in support of the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. It keeps the pressure on and shows even supportive senators how important the issue is to you.

Your voice is critically important right now. Call your senators at 1-833-497-4273 -- then let us know how your call went using this form.
