Freedom to Vote

To commemorate the 56th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and The CW Network have partnered to launch a new, non-partisan effort to ensure voting rights for all citizens. We know that encouraging people to vote is meaningless if their right and freedom to vote is undermined on a daily basis.

Kristen Clarke’s record as a champion of civil rights for all people in America is unassailable.

We are standing up to safeguard the rights of Black voters and have intervened in 17 of these suits. We have achieved success in all. Over 150 million Americans participated in this election and their voices matter.
