Allow a vote on the Voting Rights Amendment Act!

Congress must protect voters now by passing The Voting Rights Amendment Act before Congress recesses in August.

Nearly an entire year has passed since the Shelby v. Holder decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The Shelby case is troubling because it gutted a critical piece of civil rights legislation that has helped protect this country from racial discrimination in voting since 1965.

The VRAA includes modern, common sense solutions to prevent racial discrimination in voting. Every day that Congress fails to act is a threat to voting rights in America.
