Fifty-seven years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law. Today we find our democracy regressed in a moment eerily similar to that turning point in 1965.
Young people are finding more inspiration than ever to vote and participate in the political process. President Biden’s Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting offers significant opportunities to make voter registration easier for youth voters.
How this Executive Order can be a tool to fight voter suppression, and why President Biden and the agencies cannot waste any more time in seeing it through.

Since this country’s founding, Black and brown women have been America’s safety net. Both at home and abroad, our underpaid and unpaid labor are the building blocks that allow America to thrive.
For too long, Black and brown people have been kept out of the promise of our democracy. If we are serious about building a just, multiracial democracy, we must restore the VRA and expand opportunities for participation in our democracy.

To succeed in 2018 and 2020, Democrats need to run campaigns that actually motivate people to get out and vote, especially 20-somethings and struggling people of all races.
