National Day of Action for Voting Rights

ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE SOUTH

The dismantling of the Voting Rights Act is a reminder that we have unfinished business. This fight is ours — and we are going to finish it. Join us in building what comes next.

Why Now. Why the South.

Same Fight.
New Generation.

Our parents and grandparents marched, organized, bled, and won. The Voting Rights Act was theirs. The fight to keep it is ours.

Right now, state by state, that law is being dismantled. We know that we cannot fight the same battles the same way. New times demand new tactics — economic pressure, political organizing, community action, culture, and faith. But we know what we know: organizing works. And we have unfinished business.

Our oppressors are relics of the past. We are the future. All roads lead to the South.
