The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act establishes a targeted process for
reviewing voting changes in jurisdictions nationwide, focused on measures that have
historically been used to discriminate against voters. It would allow a federal court to order
states or jurisdictions to be covered for results-based violations, where a particular measure
has a disparate racial impact on voting.
The Act would increase transparency by requiring reasonable public notice for
voting changes, and would grant the U.S. Attorney General authority to request federal
observers be present anywhere in the country where there is a serious threat of racial
discrimination in voting. It would also increase accessibility and protections for Native American
and Alaska Native voters.
Voting is the foundation of freedom. The Democratic Party needs to support legislation and policies that support the voting rights of all citizens. We call upon the Federal Government to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
Justice must be for all or it will inevitably be for none. The Democratic Party needs to support any legislation or policies that support justice for all -- from ending no-knock raids, increasing police accountability, fixing the justice system, fixing bail, ending the cannabis prohibition, and more.
We call for the Permanent Platform Committee during the 2024 Texas Democratic Convention to add the following, or equivalent, language to the TDP 2024 Platform under the “Reproductive Freedom and Personal Choice” section:
All Americans deserve the right to support themselves and their families. The Democratic Party should support legislation and policies that break apart corporate monopolies, support a living wage, good jobs for all, the right to repair for farmers, and more.
Gov Abbott & his gaggle of Radical Republicans want to defund our public schools so they can send kickbacks to their billionaire mega-donors. Sign this petition to stop them from defunding our public schools! Click here to help us recruit other signers.
Education is the foundation of opportunity for all. But instead of supporting our schools, Radical Republicans seek to defund our public schools. School Vouchers are a ploy to give kickbacks to Abbott's campaign donors and the Greedy Few. We must not defund our public schools, rather we must fully fund and empower them to provide the best education to all Texas children.
The cannabis prohibition is harming Americans. The Democratic Party should support any legislation that moves us forward to ending the cannabis prohibition -- including full medical use, recreational use, and full decriminalization.
