VOTING VICTORY IN GEORGIA!

It’s been a big week for voting rights in Georgia!

Thanks to the hard work of the NAACP Georgia State Conference, a judge issued a consent order prohibiting the state from cutting off voter registration more than 30 days before any federal election.

This victory follows an earlier lawsuit in which the Georgia Sate Conference sued to correct a state law that required Georgians to register three months prior a federal runoff election in order to vote – a clear violation of the National Voter Registration Act.

Georgia isn’t the only place where we’re making progress though: the NAACP has won back rights for voters in Louisiana and Texas and has filed further lawsuits in states like Indiana.

We’re fighting in the courts because we know that we’ll never stop hate and achieve equality if we don't vote.

We believe that Americans deserve a just, inclusive democracy.
Are you with us?

PLEDGE TO VOTE

With gratitude,
Derrick 

NAACP
President and CEO
