I wanted to make sure you saw this message about a Florida judge blocking a voter suppression bill. I'm relieved that Judge Walker saw this bill for what it was and blocked it – but it also highlights how brazen voter suppression has become in targeting voters of color. It's rampant and the attacks on voting rights are only increasing. That's why we founded Power the Vote. We're actively fighting back, by funding voter protection teams in battleground states like Florida – and helping voters of color overcome systemic barriers to voting.

What’s more, he explicitly called out the Supreme Court of the United States for putting the right to vote "under siege" by "gutting" the Voting Rights Act. Judge Walker recognized what we all know to be true: “Florida has repeatedly sought to make voting tougher for Black voters.” Judge Walker went on to say, "Federal courts would not countenance a law denying Christians their sacred right to prayer, and they should not countenance a law denying Floridians their sacred right to vote." We couldn’t agree more, {NAME}. Voting rights are under attack on every level of our government, and these attacks are designed to disenfranchise voters of color. We must do everything in our power to defend those sacred rights. We are grateful to judges like Judge Walker who recognize the importance of preserving voting rights, and we’re standing up to do our part for democracy – by making sustained investments in year-round voter protection programs in key states..

We pioneered a new model of voter protection, built on sustained investments and long-lasting relationships. Now, we’re building on that success and adapting the Georgia model to fight voter suppression in other states.
