As the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act approaches, we face a stark truth: its most powerful protections have been stripped away. The John Lewis VRAA is how we restore them, and protect the promise of democracy for all. #RestoreTheVRA

Today, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is being reintroduced in the Senate. This vital bill restores and strengthens the Voting Rights Act, ensuring every voter can make their voice heard. #RestoreTheVRA

Our rights are under attack. Essential services crumble. Silence is complicity. Join the nationwide day of action, today, July 17. Peaceful resistance. #GoodTrouble #GoodTroubleLivesOn social.demcast.com/s/7gnM5WzR

"Today is a powerful call to recognize the urgency of justice for those on death row, people who are disproportionately Black and brown, poor, and often sentenced through processes riddled with racial bias and systemic harm." ~ Lisa Holder, President of the Equal Justice Society #CommuteTheRow

EJS President Lisa Holder among the civil rights leaders speaking this morning at the Calif State Capitol calling on Gov. Gavin Newsom to commute the sentences of all 574 individuals on California’s death row without delay. #CommuteTheRow

California has the largest death row in the U.S. The death penalty has no place in any society that values fairness, justice, and human rights. We call on @cagovernor @GavinNewsom to #CommuteTheRow #UniversalClemencyNow #ConfrontRacism #deathpenalty

Black men are 4x more likely to be sentenced to death in CA. It’s time to close this racist chapter in California’s history. We call on @cagovernor @GavinNewsom #CommuteTheRow and grant #UniversalClemencyNow. #ConfrontRacism #deathpenalty
