"There is no time to waste in fully leveraging the federal agencies in protecting the fundamental right to vote.”

We must not underestimate the progress and yet-untapped potential of this executive order.

"Despite this setback, Demos remains committed to the fight for a just, inclusive, multiracial democracy."

"History will not remember fondly those who choose upholding Senate rules over upholding voting rights."
