A protest to honor Rep. John Lewis
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power.
But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.
Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us!
This will be a community event that includes voter registration and confirmation of registration by the Hawaii chapter of The League of Women Voters. It will also include a table dedicated to providing information on the voting rights movements, and the effect of the recent Supreme Court Callais ruling on the Voting Rights Act. Respectful waving of nonpartisan signs honoring the late Congressman John Lewis and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King and the importance of voting is encouraged. Free gelato and sorbet will be provided to all who attend. We will also be collecting donations of non-perishable food for needy residents of West Oahu.
