DESCRIPTION:VOTING RIGHTS: Sidewalk Rally for Democracy in Pacifica\n\nWednesday, July 
 7, 5:00 PM \n\nMORE INFO: 
 https://act.indivisible.org/event/local-actions/163349/signup/\n\n\nCome 
 join a rally to demand voting rights now! \n\nAs of mid May 2021, state 
 legislators have introduced 389+ bills with restrictive voting provisions 
 in 48 states. Voting restriction laws especially target and suppress the 
 votes of Blacks & other minorities, young people, poor people, as well as 
 the disabled & seniors.\n\nNow, the S.1: For the People Act has been 
 officially blocked by opposing Senators. \nPlus, The John Lewis Voting 
 Rights Act to reestablish protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act has yet 
 to even move forward in the 117th Congress (formerly HR 4).\n\nWe need to 
 show that there is overwhelming grassroots support for voting rights, \nso 
 please join us!\n\nBring a sign. Please follow any & all current COVID 
 guidelines: 
 https://covid19.ca.gov/safely-reopening/#continuing-safety-measures\n\nThis 
 event is part of the Deadline for Democracy voting rights rallies and 
 actions happening nationwide.\n_________________\n\nWhy We Are Rallying for 
 Voting Rights\n\nhttps://deadlinefordemocracy.org/\n\nThis rally is part of 
 the voting rights action campaign by the Deadline for Democracy, a 
 coalition of 100+ groups fighting voter suppression.\n\nWhatever our color, 
 background or zip code, most of us believe that voters should pick our 
 leaders—our leaders do not get to pick their voters. When it comes to our 
 elections, we want a transparent process we can trust, where Americans have 
 equal freedom to vote, whether we live in a small town or big city, the 
 south or the north.\n\nBut today, a handful of extremist politicians have 
 put up barriers to silence our voices based on what we look like or where 
 we live. It’s time for national standards for voting so all of us have a 
 say in key decisions like affordable care, quality jobs, and a healthy 
 future.\n\nTogether, we can ensure Americans can safely and freely cast our 
 ballots so that every voice is heard and our elections reflect the will of 
 the people.\n\nBut every day, we get closer to a very real deadline to take 
 action to pass the S.1 For the People Act—a deadline for 
 democracy.\n______________________\n\nDeadline for Democracy
