Protect the VRA

Update: The House passed HR 9 by a vote of 390-33.

The House is scheduled to vote today on HR 9, legislation renewing and strengthening the landmark Voting Rights Act  Rep.

Voting Rights Act of 1965 played a major role in protecting the voting rights of African-Americans, Latinos and people who are not fully proficient in English.  Many credit the act as the most effective civil rights bill enacted in American history.

Call your representative NOW at (202) 224-3121. Tell your representative:  I urge you to fully support H.R. 9 and oppose any harmful amendments.
