In the years since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, weโve seen the right to vote come under attack in communities & states across the country. Itโs time to #RestoreTheVRA ! #ForThePeople
The Senate Republicans must join the House in passing H.R. 4 to #RestoreTheVRA protections which Rep. John Lewis spent so much of his life fighting to secure & protect.
When certain communities cannot access the ballot & when they are not represented in the ranks of power, our democracy is in peril.
Thatโs why Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to finally #RestoreTheVRA
America is stronger when we expand access to the ballot box, not restrict it. It's time to #RestoreTheVRA .
We stand united in urging Members of Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, alongside the Freedom to Vote Act & Native American Voting Rights Act. Letโs protect our democracy and ensure everyone is represented. #RestoreTheVRA
Seven years after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, it's clearer than ever that its decision was a mistake.
GOP officials have systematically made it harder for Black Americans to vote since 2013. Itโs anti-democratic and unacceptable.
We need to #restoretheVRA .
Conservatives have been attacking voting rights since 1776. They killed hundreds of thousands of Americans to oppose expansion of citizenship and voting rights.
Why do Republicans fight so hard to suppress the vote? Donโt ask me, ask a Republican >>>
We must #RestoreTheVRA
During the #SOTU address, on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, President Biden urged Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Now, more than ever, we must protect voting rights & #RestoreTheVRA . Accessible voting should be a fundamental right for all.๐ฃ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธ #RockTheVote
I was beaten, left bloody & unconscious while friends of mine gave their lives to ensure that every person has the right to register & vote. But five years ago the SCOTUS Shelby County v Holder decision stuck a dagger in the heart of the Voting Rights Act. We must #RestoreTheVRA
Weโre standing with Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats to fight for voting rights for every American. We canโt let Senate Republicans block the #FreedomToVoteAct and the bill to #RestoreTheVRA . Call Congress today at 202-499-6085.
The freedom to vote is inextricably connected to our ability to beat back regressive policies like those targeting abortion access & LGBTQ rights.
Voting rights protect ALL other rights.

Racial discrimination in voting is not history - it persists stubbornly and acutely. The Senate just reintroduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. We need this legislation to protect the right to vote. It's well past time to #RestoreTheVRA brennancenter.org/our-work/analyโฆ
Elections have consequences. We can turn around the damage of this extremist Supreme Court that gutted the Voting Rights Act and overturned Roe v. Wade โ when we win Democratic majorities in Congress and reelect President Joe Biden.
Donโt agonize, organize to #RestoreTheVRA ! -NP
Passing John R. Lewis VRAA and restoring the Voting Rights Act is more crucial than ever.
Since the devastating Shelby County ruling, nearly 100 restrictive voting laws have been enacted, worsening racial turnout gaps and causing lasting damage to our democracy. #RestoreTheVRA
