L.A. Civil Rights Leaders Call on L.A. City Officials to Challenge Congress to Fight Voter Suppression
Call Comes on the Anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson and Western Regional Director National Action Network Rev. Jonathan Moseley, will hold a press conference Friday, August 6 at 12:30 PM calling on L.A. City officials to aggressively fight voter suppression. The call will be made on the date, August 6, that the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Acts was signed in to law.
Hutchinson will also giveaway copies to the public of his organization’s book on the fight against voter suppression, Bring Back the Poll Tax!–The GOP War on Voting Rights “The 1965 Voting Rights Act is under severe attack and is being eroded at every turn,” says Hutchinson and Moseley,” L.A. city officials must make their voices heard in fighting the attack. The gut of the Voting Rights Act ultimately will have a huge negative impact on Black and Hispanic voters in Los Angeles and California.”
