JCPA CEO Amy Spitalnick released the following statement upon reintroduction of John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

At a moment of constant assaults on our democracy, voter suppression is among the most powerful tools the extremists have at their disposal. That’s why safeguarding this right in the face of flagrantly discriminatory laws is so crucial.

The Jewish community knows that our safety is inextricably linked with the rights and safety of all communities and the health of our democracy. Yet without the Voting Rights Act, which was allowed to expire after decades of bipartisan support, we’re seeing horrifying new attacks on ballot access rooted in false, bigoted, and dangerous conspiracy theories about stolen elections.

JCPA is proud to once again support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to help protect our democracy for everyone at this critical moment.
