Voting Rights Press Conference With Family Of John Lewis
Bishop Tavis Grant of Rainbow PUSH Coalition begins a press conference on voting rights at the Supreme Court with a prayer. Voting rights crusader Congressman John Lewis' niece and brothers spoke, vowing to continue his fight for the right to vote for all Americans. They called for Congress and President Biden to end the filibuster and pass the voting rights act that bears his name, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and the For the People Act. Event sponsors Transformative Justice Coalition (TJC) and Black Voters Matter join them in these demands. Left to right: Bishop Tavis Grant (at podium), Henry Lewis, Samuel Lewis, Texas Rep.
