"Nearly six decades ago, the courage & sacrifice of countless civil rights heroes gave rise to the landmark Civil Rights Act. This transformative legislation stands as a pillar of our Democracy, helping move our nation closer to our founding promise of liberty & justice for all.

As our nation commemorates this proud milestone in the American story, our basic rights & dignities remain under urgent threat from the forces of hate. Amid celebrations of our most cherished freedoms this Independence Day, we must renew our resolve to forge a more perfect union.

@HouseDemocrats are fighting alongside tireless activists to stamp out bigotry and defend the freedom of every American. With our twice-passed Equality Act, we voted to further bolster the legacy of the Civil Rights Act by extending its full protections to LGBTQ Americans.

The Democratic House has passed the For The People Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to crack down on bigoted voter suppression, and we proudly advanced the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to save lives from racist police violence.

Right-wing extremists -- backed by their radical Republican supermajority on the Supreme Court -- are now waging an all-out assault on even more of our freedoms, from reproductive health rights to marriage equality.

Together, let us carry on the fight for justice -- by defeating those who seek to unwind hard-won progress and by building a brighter, fairer, freer future for all of our children."
