Nationwide March For Voting Rights

A woman holds a sign urging activists not to give up the fight for voting rights during the flagship event of a nationwide march for voting rights on the 58th anniversary of the March on Washington. Partcipating individuals and organizations demand an end to the filibuster and passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the For the People act to ensure federal protection of the right to vote. The event is sponsored by the Drum Major Institute, March On, SEIU, National Action Network, and Future Coalition, and has more than 225 partner organizations. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
