Civil groups call for voting rights in DC
Thousands of protesters are expected to rally on the National Mall in Washington to support voting rights and racial justice amid recent changes to voting laws and redistricting that threaten Black representation. Organized by Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III, the 2026 “Defend the Vote” March echoes the historic 1963 march at the Lincoln Memorial and responds to a Supreme Court decision that limits protections under the Voting Rights Act. The event highlights ongoing efforts by civil rights groups to challenge redistricting efforts and advocate for voting rights ahead of the midterm elections.
