Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the heart of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, we’ve seen a wave of laws pass across the South to disenfranchise voters.

The voting rights landscape has been very dark in recent years – and that’s why we were inspired to see the U.S. House of Representatives last week approve what experts are calling the “most significant democracy reform bill in a generation.”
