BIPARTISAN PLAN TO RESTORE MOST OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT! 24JAN14

EVER since the Supreme Court destroyed the Voting Rights Act in 2013 what has been an unalienable right has been at risk for millions of Americans. You can help support this wrong by clicking the link below and asking your Representative and Senators to support the bipartisan legislation being introduced in congress. This is an unfortunately rare opportunity to take advantage of Democrats and Republicans working together for the benefit of the entire nation. Please take action today....
Just six months ago, we saw the historic Voting Rights Act gutted by the Supreme Court. The rights of millions of minority voters remain threatened - unless Congress acts. That looked hopeless...until now.
Last week, a bipartisan group of legislators introduced a fix to the Voting Rights Act that will restore many of the protections that had been lost. Click here to urge your member of Congress to join them!
More than 50 years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself.” That fight isn’t over. Every election, thousands of minority voters are disenfranchised or find that their votes don’t count.
Will you ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor these crucial protections for minority voters?
In the coming weeks, we need thousands of people of faith to contact Congress to let them know that the fight for civil rights isn’t over. We need your voice now to make sure that every ballot is counted at the voting booth.
Will you add your voice in support of those who could lose theirs?
In faith,
Janelle, Tim, and the rest of the Sojourners team
