There is no more time to wait.

Black and Brown Americans face the greatest assault on our voting rights in decades.

Tell them that article 1, section 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws that control the time, place, and manner of Federal elections.

the recent efforts in my State to undermine the continuance of American democracy highlight the importance of passing Federal voting rights legislation

We believe that the only way we can protect the voting rights of Latinos, African Americans, and Native Americans in the entire country is by passing protections that will take care of Latinos.

When we see voter ID, when you see all these efforts to stop people from voting, think about this...

This is a tragedy. It's a tragedy for our country that some of its leaders have embraced the idea in the year 2022 that true multiracial and multiethnic democracy is a threat to them.

The fact of the matter is Latinos are pretty much an independent group. We are socially conservative. We are pro-police. We are pro-ICE. We are split on abortion.

They want power at all costs.

Make no mistake, at this moment our nation's democracy stands on the precipice.

One of the two major political parties has chosen to reverse its historic support for strong voter rights protection.

I want to correct a misconception that Members of both parties have that expanding voting rights only helps Democrats at the ballot box.
