This resolution designates September 2025 as "National Voting Rights Month" to underscore the fundamental importance of voting in a democracy. It acknowledges the historical and ongoing challenges to ballot access, including past voter suppression laws, Jim Crow tactics, and modern-day barriers like gerrymandering and restrictive voting policies. The designation aims to promote awareness and ensure inclusive participation in elections. The resolution strongly encourages Congress to pass significant voting rights legislation, specifically mentioning the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025 . This act aims to restore and modernize key protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, prevent discriminatory gerrymandering, and safeguard minority voting rights. Additionally, it recommends that public schools and universities develop academic curricula to educate students on the importance of voting, the history of voter suppression, and current measures affecting ballot access. To further promote civic engagement, the resolution invites Congress to allocate funds for extensive public service announcements across various media platforms. These PSAs would inform citizens about election dates, registration deadlines, and encourage active participation in voting. The resolution also expresses appreciation for the United States Postal Service's issuance of a special Representative John R. Lewis stamp, honoring his legacy and reminding the public of the sacrifices made for voting rights.
