Take Action

What you can do

Despite the progress made, voting rights law in America is still inequitable and biased toward particular groups over others. There are a number of organizations - many of which were formed during seminal moments in voting rights history - that are active and attempting to increase access to the ballot. Given that there is still work to be done, what can you do to support this cause?
