Biden Gets Cold Shoulder From Voting Rights Groups: ‘We Don’t Need Any More Photo Ops’

Several 🗳️Voting rights groups will not be attending President Joe Biden’s speech in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to The New York Times,🗳️Voting rights and civil rights groups are frustrated with the White House over a lack of response to attacks on 🗳️Voting rights.

“We do not need any more speeches, we don’t need any more platitudes,” James Woodall, former president of the N.A.A.C.P. of Georgia, said.

He added, “We don’t need any more photo ops. We need action, and that actually is in the form of the John Lewis 🗳️Voting Rights Act, as well as the Freedom to Vote Act — and we need that immediately.”

The newspaper noted the administration had been focused on passing the president’s economic agenda.

Ian Bassin, executive director of Protect Democracy, told the Times, “When you’re diagnosed with cancer, you don’t wait a year to start treatment.”
