#AlabamasGottenMeSoUpset: By requiring #preapproval, the #VRA sought to prevent #discriminatory practices from going into effect in the first place.
In 2013, however, the #SupremeCourt in #ShelbyCounty v. Holder struck down the framework that determined which #jurisdictions were subject to the #preclearance requirement, effectively gutting this key #enforcement measure.

#whiteprivilege: The move to disproportionately lower what the #wealthy pay in #taxes will further undermine #communities that #suffer from #disinvestment... more budget cuts will come for essential services, like #publiceducation and #infrastructure #maintenance. Lower-income residents, they warn, will be hurt most.

“The wealthy tend to always look out for themselves,” Edwards said.

#gerrymandering: some warned could be “precedent setting” and threaten Republicans’ prospects to ever hold a majority in Congress again… “How could we win the House back ever again if we’re talking about losing two in Louisiana, and losing five to ten in Texas? The answer’s simple: It’s never.”

#Jan6 is a deep undercurrent in American society, that has always felt that the participation of #nonwhite people, and particularly #BlackPeople, was somehow contradictory, somehow not consistent with the idea of who this #democracy is supposed to be for and about. Our #SupremeCourt basically said that #AfricanAmericans can never be citizens because of their #enslavability-#Crenshaw

Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) introduced the Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023 to “limit the arbitrary and unfounded removal of local #election #officials” and allow those who oversee federal elections to challenge their removal proceedings in federal court. It would also #protect #votersrights by restricting the ability of conservative activists to launch mass challenges to #voter #eligibility in states like Georgia.

Time for Senate Democrats to end or carve out the filibuster so this bill can pass. #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct

House approves John Lewis voting rights measure:

@TonyStark

Thanks for the script, Tony!!

Calling and then writing a letter ...

This is the most important thing we can do NOW to save our Democracy!!

Republicans won't play fair ...

I will be calling everyday from here on out until the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct ... The #ForThePeopleAct ... or another bill with similar provisions passes in the senate.

We need a federal voting rights bill to save OUR Democracy!!!!!

Democracy needs a better friend than Joe Manchin. If Joe Manchin wants bipartisanship, let him do the work and secure the votes. I know, I'm funny. He is all yak and no shack.

Focus your anger on electing more Democrats in every election you can and in the Senate in 2022. The more Democrats we can elect, the more irrelevant Manchin will become. And we'll have to win in as many places as we can in the meantime. :vote: #VoteBlue

I will still fight for #HR1 and the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct.

Democrats confront reality on voting rights: Congress probably isn’t coming to the rescue-

Today, voting rights are under attack nationally as Republican state legislators introduce and pass laws to put up barriers to participation in our elections.

We see it in the news every day. However, Americans are coming together to fight back. 

Sign up for a May 8 day of action to demand the passage of the For the People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, D.C. Statehood, and to address one of the greatest obstacles to the passage of civil and voting rights – the filibuster.

Find an event near you or sign up for the virtual event. #HR1 #HR4 #ForThePeopleAct #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct #StatehoodForDC #CallToAction :CTA:
