4:20Now PlayingCivil rights leaders have announced a “Summer of Activism” to fight against new voting restrictions that are in Republican-led states.
Today, the National Council of Negro Women announced a “Voting Rights Call to Action” week, persuading Black women leaders and allies to post on social media platforms to demand for Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. On Thursday, President Biden met with leaders of the eight legacy civil rights organizations, which was “very constructive.”
Trey Baker, senior advisor for President Biden’s Office of Public Engagement, joined Kelly Wright on “The World Tonight” to discuss the battle for voting rights.
