We're creating our futures in November

Dear MoveOn member,

"The struggle for the Voting Rights Act taught us that people who love this country can change it. Don't give away your power - go vote." –President Barack Obama¹

This week marks the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act being signed into law. As we commemorate this historic milestone, we must not forget to acknowledge and honor the long, hard struggle it took to get our nation to that place. Ever since the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution established citizenship for the formerly enslaved, Black people and other people of color have fought, sacrificed, and risked their lives in order to have the full benefits of citizenship—including the right to vote.

Voting is power, and this November, we're taking our power back. For our families. For our communities. For our futures.

The grandfather clause, poll taxes, and literacy tests were just some of the ways Black people and people of color were unjustly disenfranchised for almost a century. But people fought back with the Mississippi Freedom Summer, the Selma to Montgomery marches, and many other ways in their communities. 

After the Supreme Court gutted protections in the Voting Rights Act in 2013, we continue the struggle for equal and fair access to the ballot for all. The torch has been passed to us, and with this year's elections—taking place during a global health pandemic and amid racial uprisings—we have the chance to create the future we want. We're taking to the streets, organizing online, and lobbying our elected officials. On November 3, we'll come together to use our greatest tactic: our vote.

Our votes are powerful. We are powerful. On November 3, we're showing up in our power.

This sticker is the third in a series of seven. Follow along to collect all seven and for more on MoveOn's massive cultural program to inspire and turn out young voters and people of color. 

Thanks for all you do.

–Mary, Michael, Evelyn, Allison, and the rest of the team
