Today, we remember their commitment to the fundamental right of everyone in this country to participate in democracy, and look for ways to enact their legacy. In my work, that means restoring the Voting Rights Act & rooting out voter suppression by passing the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

56 years ago, @RepJohnLewis and other champions of the civil rights movement put their lives on the line in the #BloodySunday march from Selma to Montgomery. They were demanding the right to vote. In return, they were beaten by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. — PolitiTweet.org

The past is not so far behind us: we’ve already seen an unprecedented number of voter suppression laws introduced in state legislatures this year. We have work to do in this nation to repair and strengthen our democracy, and we’re standing on the shoulders of giants to do it. — PolitiTweet.org
