John Lewis: “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."

The work to ensure equal access to the ballot is not done. We must protect our freedom to vote.

Today, on what what would have been John Lewis’ 83rd birthday, we not only reflect on the past but recognize the inequities of the present.

Voting is a sacred right and we must fight to protect our freedom to vote.

In 2023, we have fewer federal voting rights protections than we had in 1965. On what would’ve been Rep. John Lewis’ 83rd birthday, it's time for Congress to protect our freedom to vote and restore the VRA.

John Lewis faced brutality from state troopers for marching across the Edmund Pettus bridge in support of the Voting Rights Act.

Congress must continue his fight by restoring the VRA and protecting our freedom to vote!

John Lewis fought for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 2013, SCOTUS gutted the VRA, allowing an influx of anti-voter legislation targeting voters of color. Congress must protect our freedom to vote & restore the VRA

I remember listening to Congressman John Lewis which represented our district here in Georgia.When he died I was very sad.He to me he epitomized strength,I was rejuvenated into getting active in the struggle for equality,fair play.I voted for Raphael Warnock last November & in the run off.Had to make sure my voice was heard .dragged my son and his friends to vote in the rain wrapped around a building for hours.

Reminder - voter suppression has 3 tests:
1. Can you register & stay on the rolls?
2. Can you cast a ballot?
3. Does your ballot get counted?

States (like GA) mix & match obstacles. We need + . Stay alert. Stay the course. twitter.com/ajc/status/1428379
