Young Black Lawyers’ Organizing Coalition Releases a People’s Brief on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
Abdul Dosunmu is the founder and chief strategist of YBLOC. The organization released a People’s Brief on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
YBLOC’s People’s Brief is a tool to build community momentum for federal legislation to restore the Voting Rights Act
“The goal of this brief is to empower all Americans with the information they need to be effective ambassadors for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act,” said Abdul Dosunmu, the founder and chief strategist of YBLOC. “In order to ensure the restoration of the Voting Rights Act and its urgent voting rights protections, we must take the conversation directly into the heart of our communities, clarify the stakes, and mobilize people power. That is what this document aims to do.”
This People’s Brief is being released at a critical inflection point for Black voting rights. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, there are 389 proposed voter suppression bills in 48 states. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act would help combat this troubling tide of voter suppression bills by restoring key provisions of the Voting Rights Act.
The brief was crafted with community stakeholders in mind. As leaders engage their communities around voting rights issues, this People’s Brief will be an important community education and empowerment tool. Read the brief here.
