It's been 53 years since the Voting Rights Act became law, strengthening our democracy and ensuring that every American could exercise their right to vote.
That might seem like a long time, but when you think about our country's history, it's really not long at all: Just a few decades since all those brave men and women -- knowing they'd be intimidated, turned away, or even beaten -- stood up to fight for their right to cast a ballot anyway.
These courageous leaders didn't lead that movement for themselves alone. They led it for future generations, too. They led it for us. Michelle Obama.
Now, it's our turn. We need to honor their legacy. We need to continue their work. And that's why I'm reaching out to you today,
