"Voting is our lifeblood."

"Today, we`re sending a strong message. We have black leaders from across the country, black leaders who marched with John Lewis. This is not about one generation. It`s about all generations."

"That`s another reason we need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. That`s the only way we can make a change when we get more people registered to vote without voter suppression."

"When we use our voices and we speak up, and especially black women, we have become powerhouses."
