Last night, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act passed in the House of Representatives. Today, I’m celebrating this victory. Because it’s not every day that a landmark bill like this—a bill that will give a voice to so many—has a chance to become law.
But this is far from a done deal. Like so many others before it, this bill could fail in the Senate. So I’m asking you to make your voice heard. Join me and @WhenWeAllVote, and ask your Senator to support this bill: weall.vote/johnlewisvra.
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote It would really help if folks would stop the whining and just get out and vote.
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote I would, but I tweet snd email my Texas federal legislators regularly and on the rare occasions I receive a response, it’s a newsletter restating their positions, while not acknowledging mine. I so miss Senators Reed and Whitehouse. They answered emails and even phone calls.
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote Zulu nation believe that when a person die , must be brought back home with a specific tree (if you know you know) . Thank you for bringing him with a happy dance back to us, stronger than before. #wathintaabafaziwantintaimbokodo
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote He is smiling on us and his spirit of resilience lives on. He did not die , he multiplied !
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote What can a person do when Rubio and Scott are their Senators?? 😭😖
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote Amandla!! 🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote Americans need to support this. It’s a fight for democracy and equality.
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote I’m happy too that the Bill passed in the House! Now @SenatorTimScott @LindseyGrahamSC remember w/Lewis said in June 2019, ""I hv said this before, & I will say it again,“The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy."”
@MichelleObama @leahmcelrath @WhenWeAllVote We could use your support and voice to fight for municipalities allowing "food, not lawns" by using front yards as gardens and it not be an HOA or city/county code violation. #foodnotlawns
@MichelleObama @WhenWeAllVote Even though we had made a milestone in the house representative. Congrats on that progress. We as a people must push through the Senate and after the Senate let the president sign it and make it a bill. So we still have a long ways to go. let's keep our fingers crossed.
