Our Votes Matter in All Elections

We should never take for granted our rights and our responsibilities to engage in civic action and vote in every election — local and national.

The 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) is a landmark federal law and a significant victory of the Civil Rights Movement. Enacted to remove the barriers of racist Jim Crow era policies, the VRA affirmed the right to vote for millions of African Americans. Enforcement of this law has expanded political opportunities for Black Americans and other people of color.

Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month

October is LGBTQ+ History Month. LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but LGBTQ+ history, which is an integral part of the history of the United States, has often been ignored or erased. We offer a few of our resources for learning and teaching about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people, including articles, posters and our 13-episode podcast series, Queer America, devoted to this understudied history.
