国会通过了 投票权 Act in 1965 to fight attempts to discriminate against voters, but today a faction of elected representatives refuses to pass laws to protect our freedom to vote. 某些U.S. 最高法院 decisions in recent years have done more harm than good.

Many states are silencing the voices of Black, 棕色（的）, 土著, 年轻的, 上了年纪的, 残疾选民.

Congress must pass laws to ensure that every American can safely and freely cast their ballot, building on our legacy of expanding access to voting and welcoming all voices.
