 highest turn out in modern history. But since then, hundreds of bills 
 designed to restrict voting rights and even overturn election results have 
 been introduced by state legislatures across the country; 33 have become 
 law. These bills particularly target voters of color, low-income voters, 
 and young voters. Congressional maps are being drawn right now through 
 partisan, racial gerrymandering, that further suppress the voice of the 
 people. \n\nThe Freedom to Vote Act which would stop voter suppression in 
 its tracks is held hostage by the filibuster and the John Lewis Voting 
 Rights Advancement Act faces the same uphill climb. Learn what’s at stake 
 and how you can take action to protect and advance voting rights at this 
 crucial hour.\n\n\nORGANIZATIONS:\n\nEvent by The Workers Circle and League 
 of Women Voters of the U.S., and the Brennan Center for 
 Justice\n\nCo-sponsored by: ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal, Avodah,
