People across the country are expressing their outrage and concern about efforts to suppress the vote — and no one is more riled up than comedian and ACLU ambassador Lewis Black.
He wasn't shy about expressing his feelings in the video he put together with the director of their voting rights project.
At a photo shoot with ACLU’s Voting Rights Project Director Dale Ho, ACLU voting rights ambassador.
Lewis made the video — which includes his trademark strong language — to help spread the word about the fact that laws have passed in over a dozen states that block hundreds of thousands from casting their votes.
This is a crisis. We're on the brink of the elections, and we need as many people as possible to sound the alarm about voter suppression.

To all politicians who’ve ever tried to block access to voting:
What the hell is the matter with you people?! You need to get your head on straight.
The cornerstone of this great country is the right to vote – and you should be fighting to make sure that every citizen who can vote, does! But instead you’re creating obstacles for voters? Well, that makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it… F*** that!
People marched and fought and died for the right to vote. And you want to legislate away that sacrifice? Not on my watch!
Your power comes from our votes – it’s time you started fighting voter discrimination instead of passing laws that disenfranchise more and more people in this country.
We won’t let you keep getting away with it. So get off your a**es and do the right thing!
NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!
