We celebrate today’s Senate introduction of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. As Leadership Conference CEO Maya Wiley states, our democracy must include all of us, regardless of race, ethnicity, language, or ability.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act represents a crucial step in fulfilling our obligation to protect the freedom to vote. This legislation, alongside the Freedom to Vote Act and the Native American Voting Rights Act, will empower everyone to participate fully in democracy.
