Join activists on Wednesday, March 31st at 7 pm ET for the John Lewis Mobilization Town Hall. This town hall is for activists and local organizations to learn more about the May 8th John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Day of Action where we will take the streets with more than 100 “Votercades” in more than 100 cities.
The voting rights of America’s Voters of Color and Youth Voters are under attack nationally by state legislators introducing and passing laws to suppress their participation in elections. Join more than 50 organizations sponsoring the May 8 John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Day to learn how you can help mobilize to pass the For the People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, DC Statehood and address the filibuster. Together, we can build a better democracy!
Our mobilization will show public support for restoring the effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which was decimated and eroded by the Supreme Court in Shelby v. Holder.
On this day, street activism will join virtual activism as people across the country take to the streets for a car caravan votercade. This national organizing strategy will also introduce a new concept to engage young voters and “next generation voters” through the use of a “Virtual Voter Activist Village.”
