Stepping Up for Democracy: The Episcopal Church and Voting Rights
The Episcopal Church’s General Convention has consistently expressed support for fair and free elections and has opposed efforts to suppress the voting rights of United States citizens. The recent Supreme Court Louisiana v. Callais decision further weakens the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
