The Voting Rights Act was a declaration that our democracy belongs to all of us. That idea is under attack in the courts...
Generations of Americans marched, served, protested, and died for the promise of our democracy. Today, the Supreme Court continues its steady march to forget that sacrifice and undo that promise.
