Black Women Leading the Fight For Voting Rights
This summer has brought protests, rallies and arrests for the cause. WASHINGTON, DC – JULY 15: Melanie Campbell, CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, speaks during a news conference outside the AFL-CIO headquarters on July 15, 2021 in Washington, DC. The organized labor advocates called for the Senate to repeal the filibuster to allow passage of several bills they support, including the For The People Act and The John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Alarmed by a wave of bills sweeping state legislatures around the country and a recent Supreme Court decision that critics contend will dismantle voting rights, Black women and their allies are taking courageous, coordinated steps to fight back.
