Join us to learn about how you can participate in the John Lewis National Day of Action to be held on July 17th - the 4th Anniversary of the passing of our voting rights champion.

Sadly, with the growing assault on the voting rights and human dignity of marginalized communities there is a need for concerted action to protect our Democracy.

Our Champion, former Congressman John Lewis saw this democracy crisis coming. In the last years of his life he championed two pieces of federal legislation to secure our democracy, the Freedom To Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Our plan is to work with you to host events everywhere throughout the nation on July 17th which will highlight the urgency of this moment.

At our meeting on May 23, 2024, you will hear from leaders of the convening organizations, Transformative Justice Coalition, Declaration for American Democracy, Public Citizen, Black Voters Matter and more about making July 17th a powerful Day of Action!
