YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This year, half of Americans will find it harder to vote than in previous elections. Specifically if you're young, elderly, low-income, Black or Latino. Fifty years after civil rights activists registered voters in Mississippi in what was called Freedom Summer, voting rights are being quietly dismantled. Thanks in part to the Supreme Court's reversal of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, states are now imposing some of the most restrictive voting laws in history on millions of Americans. Are you one of them?
