Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) stood in solidarity with activists who are urging Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

The week of action includes a rally at the Supreme Court, a national call-in day, and a freedom walk ending at the Senate building.

The time is NOW to pass federal legislation to protect the sacred right to vote.

I’m glad that the Senate will consider the Freedom to Vote Act today which will help ensure all Americans have access to the ballot box. Our democracy is at stake!! https://t.co/u9o2mahohb
