The fundamental right to vote continues to be under attack, creating a threat to democracy as we know it. Efforts to make it harder for racial minorities to participate in the political process are proliferating across the country - and we're fighting those efforts in court.
From now until election season, we need your help to turnout as many voters as possible. Sign up to power the vote and contact voters within your community.
