This month, we recognize the 60th anniversary of the #VotingRightsAct and the legacy of the Black civil rights activists who fought to make it a reality. Since its passage which prohibited racial discrimination at the ballot box, extremist lawmakers and billionaires have continued trying to make it harder to make our voices heard — and we’re only seeing these attempts increase. This is a coordinated attack on the freedom to vote, and make no mistake: it targets Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, young, and new voters the most. At [STATE TABLE], we continue to fight for a reality where everyone's voices are heard and needs are met.

Sixty years ago, the Voting Rights Act was passed, banning racial discrimination at the ballot box. Since then, extremist lawmakers and the wealthy elite have continued trying to make it harder to make our voices heard through gerrymandering, voter ID laws, voter roll purges, voter intimidation, and more. In 2025, we’ve only seen these attempts to steal our rights and resources increase.

As part of the @State Voices Affiliated Network, we continue to fight for a reality where everyone's voices are heard and our communities are represented. From @Alabama Forward successfully stopping extremist lawmakers from disenfranchising Black voters in Allen v.
