Our voices carry the strength of those who marched, sacrificed, and fought for our right to vote. We honor that struggle by showing up and making our voices heard. The midterm elections are Tuesday, November 3. Make a plan. Bring someone with you. Let your ballot speak.
Hours vary by state. If you are in line when polls close, stay in line. You can still vote.
We vote because our schools matter. Our jobs matter. Our health care matters. Our rights and our children's future matter. The decisions made by those in office reach into our homes and our communities, and tomorrow is the day we decide who makes them.
Stand out. Speak out. Vote. Share this with everyone you know before the polls open.
Enacted in 1965, the Voting Rights Act stands as a monumental achievement in the fight for civil rights, guaranteeing all individuals, regardless of race or background, the right to vote free from discriminatory practices. This landmark legislation has been instrumental in shaping our democracy, ensuring that every voice is heard and every vote counts.
That protection is under attack. This year the Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Act, a ruling Rev. Sharpton called "a bullet in the heart of the voting rights movement." The answer is not to sit out. The answer is to show up in numbers they cannot ignore.
From the House of Justice to Detroit, Nashville, Atlanta, and every city the Voter Brigade has touched this fall, the National Action Network has one message for Tuesday: show up.
