Highlights From ‘Winning the Fight for Voting Rights: State Voting Rights Acts’

The freedom to vote is under attack across the country, especially for Black voters and other voters of color. States can join the growing movement to protect the freedom to vote and remove barriers to the ballot box by enacting their own voting rights acts.

Part of a Series

This video is a collaboration between the Center for American Progress and the Legal Defense Fund.

This video includes highlights from “Winning the Fight for Voting Rights: State Voting Rights Acts,” a virtual event co-hosted by the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) and the Center for American Progress to help explain everything you need to know about how state voting rights acts can protect the right to vote from dangerous, discriminatory attacks. This special virtual event included remarks from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL), a screening of the first video in the “State Voting Rights Acts: Explained” video series, and a panel discussion about the importance of state voting rights acts featuring new national polling data from LDF.

From January to June of this year, a new video will be posted online each month so you can learn about different aspects of state voting rights acts.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
