Voting Rights

Demand Restoration and Expansion of Voting Rights Act

July 2, 2013 Staff, www.laborfightback.org
In one of the most atrocious decisions in its long, class-based, and often highly repressive history, the U.S. Supreme Court on June 25, 2013 handed down a ruling gutting the 1965 Voting Rights Act. This Act was adopted only after years of tumultuous struggle sparked by marches, rallies, mass demonstrations, civil disobedience, sit-ins and confrontations with club-wielding cops, sheriffs and police dogs. Activists shed blood and even died in the fight to secure voting rights. Sufficient pressure was finally mustered to force Congress to pass the legislation and Lyndon Johnson to sign it.

The NJ State Industrial Union Council after hosting the Labor Fightback Conference at Rutgers in May passed the following resolution in support of the August 24 March on Washington. We say All Aboard - buses, trains, planes, cars and the Metro. Make your voices heard for a National Jobs Program, Medicare for All, Expanded and Improved Social Security, Redirection of Military Spending to Fund Human Needs, Make Wall St Pay, Restore Voting Rights and so much more! For more information, go to www.laborfightback.org We are mobilizing for the Aug. 24 March on Washington and endorsers can be found on the Labor Fightback website. We're hoping there will be many buses from NJ and around the country converging on DC.
