We Carry The Unfinished Work Forward

They fought. They bled. They died. The VRA made their sacrifice matter. Today, we defend it — and on Aug. 28, we return to the National Mall. For those who came before us, and those who will come after. #DefendTheVote

61 years ago, the VRA transformed our democracy. Today, we honor those who fought — and continue their work. Aug. 28: National Mall, D.C. We march for the vote. We march for justice. We march for the future. #DefendTheVote

The fight for voting rights didn't end in 1965. It's happening right now, in your state, on your ballot. Your voice is the most powerful thing you own — but only if you use it. Check your status, show up and take action. #DefendTheVote

61 years ago, the VRA was signed. 63 years ago, a quarter million people stood for jobs and freedom. Today, we honor that legacy — not with words, but by finishing the work they started. #DefendTheVote

The VRA was meant to be permanent until the Supreme Court gutted it. Now, those it was built to protect face the same old barriers. We are not backing down. We are marching and voting, and they know it. #DefendTheVote

61 years after the VRA, the right to vote is under attack. On Aug. 28, we march on Washington to defend the vote, civil rights, and economic justice. This is about whether democracy protects all of us. #DefendTheVote

61 years ago, the VRA ended the discrimination that kept Black Americans from voting. Today, that discrimination is back — and the law meant to stop it has been gutted. We're not giving up. We're fighting back. That's what they're afraid of. #DefendTheVote

The VRA was won by people who refused to be silent. 61 years later, that responsibility is yours. Check your registration. Make sure your voice can't be erased. Then use it — at the ballot box and beyond. #DefendTheVote
