Protect the Right to Vote

On this day in 1963, approximately 250,000 people gathered in Washington D.C. for the March on Washington. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, they were introduced to a fiery young activist from Alabama named John Lewis and witnessed Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. Our Civil Rights heroes' relentless pursuit of freedom and equality paved the way for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But now, our right to vote is once again under threat.
