In 2013, the Supreme Court dismantled the Voting Rights Act by eliminating the Preclearance requirement. Since then, over 2,000 voter suppression laws have been enacted, undermining the core principles of our democracy and disenfranchising countless citizens.

​

Throughout history, many have made priceless sacrifices in the ongoing struggle for civil rights. We must keep the legacy of Ella Baker, Medgar Evers,  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Malcolm X, and John Lewis alive. Their fight for justice is far from over, and it is our duty to carry the torch forward.
