Voting Rights are Under Attack

Elections matter. And the elections this November could affect the course of our country and our democracy for decades to come. But, attacks on voting rights continue to escalate and, as has long been true, Black voters are the main target. We’re seeing everything from racially-motivated block-the-vote efforts to so-called “election integrity group” volunteers (many of them armed) confronting people in their home demanding that voters tell them how they voted in the last election.
