PLEDGE FOR VOTING RIGHTS:
The Fight for Voting Rights Continues!
For the ninety-fifth (95) birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and in the spirit of fellow civil rights champions, such as former Congressman John. R. Lewis and Fannie Lou Hamer, I __________ pledge a new intensity to carry fourth his Dream “to make real the promise of democracy… to walk in the sunlit path of racial justice” and to advance the cause of voting rights in every way possible.

I vow to VOTE in 2024! I will protest any and all efforts to weaken voting rights under the 1965 Voting Rights Act. I will press for the passage of new federal voting laws like the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. I will fight to further protect the right to vote against voter suppression attacks throughout the nation. I will do everything in my power to #ProtectTheVote!
