Civil Rights Leaders Announce March on Washington to Defend Voting Rights

The 'March on Washington 2026: Defend the Vote' is scheduled for August 28, 2026, marking the 63rd anniversary of the original March on Washington.
Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III lead a coalition of civil rights organizations, including the NAACP and the National Urban League, for the march.
The event responds to a Supreme Court ruling that limits Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, intensifying concerns over Black political representation.
