Fair Elections Center is a national, nonpartisan voting rights and election reform 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, D.C.
As we celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, we cannot dismiss the modern-day efforts to undermine ballot access by anti-democratic politicians and courts who are weaponizing familiar tactics to undermine Black political participation.
As our country continues to suffer from some of the weakest federal protection for ballot access since the Civil Rights Act’s passage, state legislators are also implementing restrictions that disproportionately affect the very communities the legislation was meant to safeguard.
This is a fight we know well, and we`re ready to end these attacks once and for all. Will you join us?
