Michelle’s birthday coincided with this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and to celebrate, the “Becoming” author wrote a tweet urging her followers to uphold Dr. King’s legacy by spreading the word about the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, a major reform bill, which, among many things, would set basic nationwide standards for how elections are conducted.
One of the best ways to honor Dr. King's legacy is to take action to help protect voting rights in our country. Text ‘MLK’ to 56005 and @WhenWeAllVote will send some details you can use to call elected officials today and urge them to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act. pic.twitter.com/oo69J8KedQ

Earlier this month, Michelle penned a letter that was published as an ad by the New York Times in which she advocated for voter protection rights.
“From Georgia and Florida to Iowa and Texas, states passed laws designed to make it harder for Americans to vote. And in other state legislatures across the nation, lawmakers have attempted to do the same,” she wrote.
“This type of voter suppression is not new,” she continued. “Generations of Americans have persevered through poll taxes, literacy tests, and laws designed to strip away their power — and they’ve done it by organizing, by protesting, and most importantly, by overcoming the barriers in front of them in order to vote. And now, we’ve got to do the same. We’ve got to vote like the future of our democracy depends on it.”
