60 years ago, we made a commitment to representation. However, voter suppression is on the rise, as the Voting Rights Act is attacked & undermined. It is imperative that we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure every American can participate & is represented in our democracy.

Republicans are slashing Medicaid for millions and want everyday Americans to foot the $3.4T bill to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. The Congressional Budget Office's latest report makes it clear: the big, ugly bill will have expensive consequences for the nation and American people.
