Keep Fighting to Restore the Voting Rights Act

Just over 10 years ago, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. 

Since then, Republican state legislatures have unleashed a wave of voter suppression laws designed to make it harder for eligible voters to register to vote and cast their ballot.

But Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell – the first Black woman to serve in Alabama's congressional delegation – isn't giving up.

That's why she just reintroduced a bill to restore and expand the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

"As long as I have breath in me and as long as the folks of Alabama keep sending me back to Congress, I will continue to keep introducing this bill in every successive Congress," Sewell told NPR.

"We have to continue to let the folks know that we're fighting for access to the ballot box for everybody," she continued.
