Atlanta, GA — Today, Rep. Lucy McBath joined President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as they urged bold action to protect and defend voting rights in the United States. President Biden highlighted his support for voting rights legislation that is currently pending in the Senate.

“I was the child in the stroller at the March on Washington. My father was the President of the NAACP chapter in Illinois, and from the time that I could walk, I was marching with my family—fighting for equality and calling for justice. I was raised by my parents to always fight for what is right and what is just. To stand so that every American’s voice is heard and their vote is counted,”  said McBath. “In Georgia, throughout the southeast, and truly all across America, we are witnessing a coordinated assault on voter access and election integrity, and we cannot waver in our work. I am so proud to join President Biden and Vice President Harris as we lead the fight to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the For the People Act, and the Freedom to Vote Act, legislation that will help us guarantee the right of Americans across our country to cast their ballot without fear of interference or obstruction.”
