Join us in Kingston as we, and 100+ cities across the U.S., take to the streets to protect the right to vote. The Nation, President, Congress and statehouses will hear the urgency in our voices as we call for the restoration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (specifically For the People Act and HR4 The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act), statehood for the District of Columbia, and the removal of obstacles created by the filibuster. This is a non-partisan event.

Activities:
2:00 Rally (with Community Leaders, Elected Officials, Civil Rights Activists)
2:45 Votercade (Walk, Bike, Drive)
3:30 Festival of Activism (with performances by Simi Stone, New Pro Baptist Church Choir, & P.O.O.K, teach-ins, voter engagement and more)
