Voting Rights Act 51st Anniversary

August 6th marked the 51st Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

The celebration on this anniversary is that hard working men and women across this country, working people in unions and friends of labor, continue to fight and protect the voting rights of families, which has been successful in beating back laws that suppress the vote.

On celebrating this 51st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we must recommit ourselves to protecting the vote and restoring the VRA.
