At 7pm EST, LDF President and Director-Counsel @Sifill_LDF will appear on @60Minutes to discuss the need to safeguard the 2020 elections and protect voters.
"Sometimes when we talk about voter suppression now, we cover it with this veneer of partisan conversation which allows people to turn away from what is fundamentally a very, very ugly racial issue in our country."
We should be working to make voting more accessible, especially amidst a pandemic. That's why we went to court to challenge Alabama's lack of safe and accessible voting processes.
No one should have to risk their health and safety to access the ballot box. For more information on our recent Alabama case, read our full statement: naacpldf.org/press-release/…
"There's a whole regime of measures...that need to be in place in time for the 2020 election." --@Sifill_LDF
Critical bills designed to safeguard our elections, like the #VRAA and the #HEROESAct, are stuck in the Senate. We need Congress to act now and protect our elections.
