The fight is far from over.
The Voting Rights Act was meant to protect access to the ballot box, but communities across the country are still facing voter suppression, racial gerrymandering, polling place closures, and barriers that disproportionately impact Black voters and marginalized communities.
That’s why people are organizing.
We demand:
• Restore and fully strengthen the Voting Rights Act
• Pass the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act in the New Jersey Senate
