Supporting the designation of September 2025 as "National Voting Rights Month".

This resolution expresses support for designating September 2025 as "National Voting Rights Month" to underscore the importance of voting as a fundamental democratic right. It acknowledges a history of voter suppression, including Jim Crow laws, literacy tests, and felony disenfranchisement, and notes ongoing challenges like gerrymandering and new voting restrictions. The designation aims to ensure that through voter registration and awareness, the United States' democracy includes all citizens. The resolution encourages all people to uphold the right to vote and specifically calls on Congress to pass significant legislation, including the Freedom to Vote Act and the Democracy Restoration Act of 2023 , to expand access and protect election integrity. It also recommends that public schools and universities develop curricula to educate students on the importance of voting, the history of voter suppression, and current restrictive measures. Furthermore, it invites Congress to allocate funds for public service announcements to remind citizens about elections, registration deadlines, and the importance of voting.
