“The denial of this sacred right [to vote] is a tragic betrayal of the highest mandates of our democratic traditions and it is democracy turned upside down." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 'Give Us the Ballot' speech, 1957. On Dr. King’s birthday, we remember his fierce leadership in pushing for the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We recognize his tireless determination to create a democracy that serves every American. Fifty-eight years later, voting rights are under siege again. We all have a role to play in carrying Dr. King’s work forward. Join us in honoring his life and legacy by volunteering with VoteRiders to help us protect the freedom to vote!
