Urge Congress to Renew and Restore the Voting Rights Act
The Voting Rights Act, passed over 40 years ago in 1965, is most successful piece of civil rights legislation in history. Unfortunately, unless Congress votes to renew several key sections of the law, they will expire by 2007.
Congress began hearings on renewal legislation on October 18, so we need your help now to make sure that all of the expiring provisions are renewed and restored and to prevent opponents of the VRA from sabotaging the reauthorization.
Fill out the form to urge your elected officials to support the renewal of the expiring sections of the Voting Rights Act.
