Who needs more representation in DC to reflect our diversity? Black, Asian American, Latino, and women voters are underrepresented currently. We need those voices to govern fairly for all Americans. We can fix this with the #FairRepresentationAct

Many people with intellectual disabilities in the European Union are denied their fundamental right to make decisions for their own lives or to vote for elections. In 26 countries of the European Union a person’s legal capacity can be removed, and they cannot decide about their own money, or where to live, or who to marry. In 7 countries people under guardianship cannot vote at all. In 15 countries people with intellectual disabilities are restricted to stand for elections. Only 5 countries fully respect the right to vote and make voting accessible. All of these are grave violations of people’s rights as protected by law signed by these countries (UN CRPD).

On this day, we commemorate the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. This monumental achievement granted women the hard-fought right to vote, marking a pivotal moment in democratic representation. Forged through years of lectures, writing, marching, lobbying, and even civil disobedience, suffrage activists of the mid-19th century and onwards courageously defied societal norms to effect change. As we commemorate this achievement, it's essential to acknowledge that the fight for equal enfranchisement was far from complete. The ratification of the 19th Amendment marked a significant step towards democracy, but it did not immediately ensure the full enfranchisement of all American women. Discriminatory state voting laws persisted, and numerous women, particularly those from minority backgrounds, continued to be denied their rightful voice at the ballot box. As we reflect, we must also recognize that barriers to voting still exist for many, reminding us that our work toward a truly inclusive democracy is far from finished. Today, we honor the suffragists and activists who paved the way for this landmark achievement, while rededicating ourselves to the ongoing struggle for a more equitable and accessible democracy. #Vote #YouthVotes #YoungLeaders #YoungVotes #CivicInfluencers #Democracy #YoungVoices #YouthVote #19thAmendment #Voting

At the current rate, there will come a time when the people who require the greatest protection on grounds of the universality of human #rights will begin dismissively forging alternative pathways to #justice, peace, freedom, and equality. This is the challenge of human rights defenders and all citizens. https://lnkd.in/eqtcHeKe
