Civil rights work isn't easy – never has been. And we don’t get the outcome we want every time.

The work has ALWAYS been uphill. It often falls to ‘we the people’ to defend our progress & fight for democracy.

But we can’t win if we don’t fight. So we fight on – no matter what.

With a 52-48 vote, the Senate declined to make changes to the filibuster to ensure the passage of the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

Never forget: In 1965, it took voting rights activists three tries to successfully cross the Edmund Pettus bridge in Selma, AL.

This vote may have failed, but civil rights organizations will never let up until the VRA is restored and our democracy is protected.

We are not done.

😡 “After a day of debate, the voting rights bill is blocked in the Senate.”

How exactly do anti-voter bills affect communities of color? Well, @BrennanCenter broke it down for us👇🏽

The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act will protect and expand the right to vote, decrease the influence of money in politics, and curb partisan gerrymandering.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act (H.R. 5746). The Senate now has the opportunity to restore a strong, free & fair voting system in this country. It is imperative that this legislation pass. #VotingRightsNow
