Democrat platform 1 Voting Voting Rights "Since the United States Supreme Court’s disastrous Shelby County v. Holder decision in 2013, states across the country have been actively working to reverse the hard-fought protections for voting rights secured during the civil rights movement. Fair and equal access to the ballot is essential to our ability to uphold and protect our nation’s democracy. Every American citizen is entitled to vote, and we will work to secure voting rights and end racist gerrymandering." Justice Democrats Implement direct democracy so women, immigrants, BIPOC people (including Indigenous communities), LGTBQ+ people, and other diverse groups are not only recognized, but become championed as key protagonists in the growing calls for social, economic, and political reform.
