The voting rights of America’s Voters of Color and Youth Voters are under attack nationally by state legislators introducing and passing laws to suppress their participation in elections. Meanwhile, big business and billionaires are able to spend unlimited amounts of funding to buy our elections.

Join us as we mobilize on May 8 in the name of John Lewis as part of 100 events across the nation to pass the For the People Act (H.R. 1), the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (H.R. 4), D.C. Statehood and address the filibuster to do so.

Together, we can build a better nation and a stronger democracy.

May 8th we will meet at the Oakland Community Center parking lot on the side of the gymnasium.  We will be meeting @ 2 pm to decorate cars & pass out our John Lewis Protect our Votes masks.  We will read the Mayor’s Proclamation designating May 8, 2021 as John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Action Day.
We will leave on our VoterCade along with all other VoterCades in the country at exactly 3 pm eastern time. We will be traveling through the Oakland neighborhoods.
Make a couple of signs to put on your car, bring your car horn, your family & your joyful energy.
