March on Washington 2026 Defends the Vote | Spokane News

Thousands flooded Washington for “March on Washington 2026: Defend the Vote,” echoing 1963’s historic call for justice as a new front in the fight for voting rights. Fueled by a Supreme Court ruling that gutted key Voting Rights protections, organizers — including the National Action Network and Drum Major Institute — rallied over 90 groups to demand unity against systemic rollbacks.

With rising unemployment, declining Black homeownership, and Jim Crow-era tactics resurfacing, the march framed voting as the bedrock of equality — and the next battlefront for justice.
