March on Washington 2026 Defend the Vote | US News
Description
Civil rights leaders are rallying for a historic August 28th march in Washington, D.C., marking the 63rd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington — this time to defend voting rights against a recent Supreme Court ruling that undermines Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Organizers, including Reverend Al Sharpton and a coalition of civil rights groups, labor unions, and political allies, argue the decision threatens Black political representation and democracy itself. While some Republicans defend the ruling as upholding racial neutrality in redistricting, the march aims to mobilize public pressure and reignite national commitment to fair and accessible elections.
