For Immediate Release: August 5, 2025
Join us Wednesday, August 6 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. ET for food, music and joyful resistance! We are gathering to claim our power and celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act!
The Voting Rights Act (VRA) was signed into law on August 6, 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. We are coming together to celebrate the protections it promised and empower each other as the fight for a free and fair democracy continues. As the Voting Rights Act and many of our most valued freedoms continue to be attacked at the state and national level, join us as we counter fear and repression with joy and collective strength.
