For the Becoming author, it wouldn’t be a day of celebration without honoring Martin Luther King Jr., which happens to be an official day of service and celebrates the civil rights leader’s life and legacy. She encouraged the Twitter community to urge Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to restore and revitalize the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA).
“One of the best ways to honor Dr. King’s legacy is to take action to help protect voting rights in our country. Text ‘MLK’ to 56005 and @WhenWeAllVote will send some details you can use to call elected officials today and urge them to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act,” she tweeted.
