Remember our history! Don’t miss an opportunity to vote! So many sacrificed so much so all could vote.

Sixty-three years ago today, hundreds of Black residents in Selma, Alabama, lined up to register to vote on Freedom Day. They faced intimidation and deliberate delays. Supporters who tried to bring them food and water were beaten by law enforcement.

We honor their courage by exercising our right to vote and defending equal access to the ballot.

Make your plan to vote. Let’s continue the work to strengthen the Voting Rights Act and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot without discrimination, fear or intimidation.
