Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
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.Add signatureVoting 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.

Add signatureEducation 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.
