60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law—protecting the right to vote for millions.

That legacy is under attack, but our fight isn’t over. Every voice matters. Every vote counts. We must keep pushing for a democracy that works for everyone. #VotingRights #VRA60

John Lewis taught us that “Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part.”

We must continue the struggle by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Advocacy at work in PA! Yesterday the @PAStateDept unveiled the redesigned provisional ballot envelope. In 2024, nearly 5,000 provisionals were rejected for clerical errors. We fought for these changes, and we're excited to see the positive impact!

Freedom means fair elections, equal rights, and a government that works for the people.

BREAKING: Congress just passed the billionaire's budget. It kicks millions off of health care, steals food from kids, and increases utility costs.

Time to fight back. Call [phone] and let's let them hear it.

Common Cause's @JohnMarionjr has some deceptively simple advice on influencing the GA: "I think people just – they need to literally show up. They need to call their legislator. They need to email their legislator. And they need to make their voices heard" https://t.co/zYnMMNLCyd
