As we celebrate the progress made toward recognizing the rights of our LGBT members and allies, let us not forget that a grave injustice has been done this week to our members and allies who have lost the protection of Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. Shame on the Supreme Court for opening the door for the suppression of the right of people of color to vote. We support a Constitutional Amendment to guarantee a fair, free and accessible right to vote for every citizen of voting age in this country.
