This is the second video in the “State Voting Rights Acts: Explained” video series created by the Center for American Progress and the Legal Defense Fund (LDF). In this video, Deuel Ross, deputy director of litigation at LDF, and Perry Grossman, director of the Voting Rights Project at the New York Civil Liberties Union, discuss how state voting rights acts can rectify the harms of vote dilution for voters of color. During this week, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Selma Marches, which paved the way for the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. This video series highlights how state voting rights acts can continue the fight for robust civic participation.

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.
