Durbin, Warnock, Schumer Reintroduce John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

Statement

Date: Feb. 29, 2024
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights

“In our nation, there’s no freedom more fundamental than the right to vote. But over the past several years, there has been a sustained effort to chip away at the protections guaranteed to every American under the Voting Rights Act. That’s why we’ve joined together today to reintroduce a bill that would not only restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act, but strengthen it—the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.”
