 https://www.mobilize.us/sclcofsoutherncalifornia/event/396307/\n\n\nJoin 
 the SCLC of Southern California as we come together for three days of 
 education, community, and action to advance voter rights as we celebrate 
 Juneteenth and honor\nFreedom Summer civil rights activists James Chaney, 
 Andrew Goodman, and\nMichael Schwerner on the 57th anniversary of their 
 murders.\n\nIn 1964, these three young Civil Rights activists were murdered 
 while organizing Black People to register to vote in Mississippi, and 
 nearly 57 years later, in response to the historic voter turnout of Black, 
 Indigenous, and People of Color in the 2020 election cycle, state 
 legislatures across the country are passing laws that will restrict the 
 voting rights of these communities.\n\nLet's honor the memory of Chaney, 
 Goodman, and Schwerner by protecting and strengthening voter rights. It is 
 imperative that there are federal protections to preserve all Americans' 
 right to vote.\n\nCongress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights 
 Advancement Act, and the For the People Act of 2021. We want to invite you 
 to help us plan events to remember these young organizers, renew our 
 commitment to justice for ALL, and work to restore the Voting Rights Act of 
 1965.\n\n\n3 DAY CONFERENCE SCHEDULE:\n\nREMEMBER:\n\nSaturday, June 19th - 
 Juneteenth\n\n10AM-12PM (PDT) VIRTUAL EVENT\n\nWhen it comes to setting the 
 rules for our lives, we want the freedom to vote. While some politicians 
 are attempting to create barriers to voting that discriminate against 
 voters based on our color, background, or zip code, we will show you how 
 you can help protect and strengthen our freedom to vote so we all have an 
 equal say in our future.\n\n2PM-5PM Film screening and discussion: 
 "Mississippi Burning"\n\n\nRENEW:\n\nSunday, June 20th - Happy Father’s 
 Day\n\n2PM-3:30PM (PDT) VIRTUAL EVENT\n\nCelebrating Black Fatherhood with

 freedom to vote by working to advance the John Lewis Voting Rights 
 Advancement Act and For the People Act of 2021.\n\n5:30PM-6:30PM

 Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Southern 
 California\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/sclcsocal/about/\n\nThe Southern 
 Christian Leadership Conference is a civil rights organization\nwith 
 chapters across the United States, including the SCLC of Southern 
 California.\nThe Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as the 
 organization's first president.\n\nThe very beginnings of the SCLC can be 
 traced back to the Montgomery Bus Boycott against the segregation of Black 
 Americans. The Montgomery Bus Boycott began on December 5, 1955 after Rosa 
 Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the 
 bus.\n\nSCLC is a now a nation wide organization made up of chapters and 
 affiliates with programs that affect the lives of all Americans: north, 
 south, east and west. Its sphere of influence and interests has become 
 international in scope because the human rights movement transcends 
 national 
 boundaries.\n_____________________________________________________________
