The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibited racial discrimination in voting and establishing what President Obama recently called "one of the crowning achievements of our democracy."

But ever since the Supreme Court's Shelby County v. Holder decision in 2013 gutted critical protections within the Voting Rights Act, voter suppression has been on the rise across America.

The late Congressman John Lewis spent his life fighting to protect our right to vote. We now have an opportunity to honor his life and legacy by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore the Voting Rights Act and create more safeguards against voter suppression.

Will you add your name to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act?
