We have entered waters that are horribly familiar in the United States. The assault on the voting rights of African Americans and other People of Color never stops. From Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy to racial segregation and terror lynching to George Wallace and Massive Resistance against civil rights to Donald Trump and MAGA, it’s all part of the same through line. The Supreme Court's recent Callais decision gutting the Voting Rights Act is horrible. But in knowing our history, and with resolve and strategy today, we march forward.
As democracy footsoldiers have done forever, we are not going to let anyone turn us around in our fight for what should be the most Common Power for All Citizens in American Democracy: The Right to Vote.
Join us for learning, inspiration, and determination with heroes past, present, and forward, live from sacred sites that drove us to the most important small-d democratic piece of legislation in American history: the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now we march.
