Hear from @sisterquincy in her own words on why she is choosing to get arrested and spend the night in jail. In the tradition of Catholic social teaching she calls on @POTUS @JoeBiden to protect democracy. #FaithfulDemocracy

Fifty-seven years after #BloodySunday in Selma, Alabama, we’re STILL fighting discriminatory barriers to the ballot. But know this: the faith community will not stop fighting until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is fully restored. #RestoreTheVRA #Selma57 #FaithfulDemocracy

"...determination is required after last week’s defeat of voting rights legislation. It was depressing. It was enraging. But it cannot be the final act."

Coalition Statement: Senate Denies the American People the Freedom to Vote

“Today is a setback, but not a defeat. We must redouble our efforts to pass national standards that protect every American’s right to vote..." #VotingRightsForThePeople https://t.co/TlcY1aGxKh

[NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice @NETWORKLobby]

The NETWORK community knows that every vote and every voice is sacred. On #MartinLutherKingDay, members of our Spirit-filled community gathered to pray for our elected officials to honor the legacy of Dr. King and protect the right for all people to vote

[Declaration for American Democracy - @DFADCoalition]

Our democracy and our #FreedomToVote are under attack. What does that mean to you? Listen to these advocates share their stories on why they fight for voting rights and why we all need the Senate to pass the #JohnLewisFreedomAct!
#VotingRightsForThePeople

[Natalie Tennant @NatalieTennant]

For more than a year, West Virginians have been all over the state and in DC advocating, marching and talking about the voting rights bills.
And @Sen_JoeManchin if you would like more debate, we'll be there.
The fight is not over and we are not tired.

Since the attack on our Capitol the Big Lie has not died, instead, it has metastasized. To protect our democracy, we must step up & pass votings rts legislation & to do that we’ve got to amend the #filibuster. I’m speaking NOW on this urgent call to action https://t.co/zKmdAOcn6k
