WE’RE HEEDING THE CALL⏤
Celebrations of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Monday, January 17, 2022) are happening across the country. In honoring Dr. King on this National Day of Action, LWV joins the King family and civil rights organizations in an all-out push on Senators to take up HR 5746, the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.
This is the moment to call and push our Senators to do all they can to protect our right to vote! In the spirit of Dr. King and generations of LWV women who successfully fought (and continue to fight) the narrative of “it’s not possible”… let’s show them otherwise!
Our democracy is at stake and trusted civic our voices will be heard! Demand passage of voting rights legislation and access to the ballot box this year on Martin Luther King day.
No matter where you live, you too can heed the call by hosting or attending an MLK Day event on January 17 where, together, we will demand our elected officials pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
