Voornaam,

Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, one of the most comprehensive expansions of voting rights in decades.

Not a single Republican voted for this bill to strengthen and restore the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which has been decimated over the past decade by the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court.

We can repair the damage done by the Supreme Court and restore the Voting Rights Act. Will you add your name to call on the Senate to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act?

This vote is just the latest sign of how far off the rails the modern-day Republican Party has gone.

In 2006, the last time Congress reauthorized the Voting Rights Act, the Senate approved it by a 98-0 vote.

But now, after the Supreme Court opened the door for voter discrimination and undermined one of the most hard-fought and important laws our country has ever enacted, Republicans in Congress and in state Legislatures across America are fighting tooth and nail to enact anti-voter laws and suppress the vote.

Not one Republican in the House voted for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, a bill that would honor the life and legacy of John Lewis by preventing discriminatory voting laws and protecting groups affected by unfair redistricting nationwide.

Democrats in the House just took action to defend our democracy. Now it's time for the Senate to do its part and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Add your name today.

Thank you,

— Oregon Democrats
