Su voto es su voz (Your vote is your voice).
Today, our right to vote is under attack. Please join me and demand that Congress restores basic voting protections.
Before the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, literacy tests and poll taxes kept minorities from the polls.
For Latinos, the Voting Rights Act was key to gaining equality in the electoral process.
But after the Supreme Court overturned key pieces of the Voting Rights Act, Republican leaders have failed us and our democracy. They’ve intentionally brought us back to a dark time in our past.
Today, Republicans are using voter ID laws and eliminating early voting to deliberately restrict the rights of Latinos and minority groups across America.
They’re chipping away at the right to vote. It’s wrong. That’s why I’m asking you to join me and demand that Congress restores the right to vote.
If you believe all Americans should have the right to vote, sign on now.
I was born to immigrant parents from Mexico. My dad was a mechanic and my mom was an educator.
Only in America can someone like me, the daughter of immigrants, become a member of Congress.
But there’s no question that the Voting Rights Act empowered me to live the American dream.
Without it, myself and other Congressional members would not be here to represent our communities.
For the sake of democracy, this right must be restored and protected. I need your help to demand change.
Join me in support of voting rights protections by adding your name today.
I spent my day yesterday reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.
Dr. King believed that there is no greater tool for change than the right to vote.
I’m asking you to join me and fight to restore that right for every American. |
