The freedom to vote must be protected. Money in politics must be reduced. The democratic process must reflect our diverse electorate. Demos is committed to creating an inclusive democracy.
On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we honor those who strived for that victory by defending its true legacy—one that demands not just political participation, but economic justice as well.
With this decision, the Court has further eroded our norms and beliefs regarding democracy, our rights under the Constitution, and the courts’ role in upholding those rights.
This anniversary provides an opportunity for us to reacquaint ourselves with their history and to recommit ourselves to the work of ensuring their enforcement.
