Beyond the Anniversary: Protecting the Freedom to Vote

Continuing The Fight for Voting Rights

More than six decades after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, the fight to protect the freedom to vote continues.

On August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act transformed American democracy by dismantling barriers that denied Black Americans the fundamental right to vote. 

Join the NAACP for a timely national briefing marking the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, not as a celebration, but as a call to action. Hear from legal experts, policymakers, and movement leaders on the current state of voting rights, ongoing federal and state challenges, and the actions communities can take to protect and expand democracy.

The webinar will highlight opportunities to get involved in upcoming advocacy efforts, including the March on Washington and coordinated actions taking place across the country. Whether you’re a longtime advocate or looking for ways to get involved, this briefing will provide the information and tools needed to turn awareness into action.
