*The Voting Rights Alliance As per their website: “On April 21, 2016, nine members of Congress, two hundred activists and Congressional staff gathered for a historic Congressional briefing on the most pressing issues of 2016: voter suppression and manipulation of US elections. From that briefing, the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus was formed, and the Voting Rights Alliance soon followed. It is non-partisan network of organizations, activists and legislatures working to restore and protect voting rights.”

*American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) The ACLU began as a small group of idealists taking a stand against the government in 1920 and has grown into the nation’s premier defender of the rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. With more than 500,000 members, nearly 200 staff attorneys, thousands of volunteer attorneys, and offices throughout the nation, the ACLU of today continues to fight government abuse and to vigorously defend individual freedoms including speech and religion, a woman’s right to choose, the right to due process, citizens’ rights to privacy, voting rights and much more.
