Do you know how YOUR members of Congress voted in the past year?
Click here to see how your representatives voted on crucial civil rights issues and hold them accountable.
According to the latest report card, 59% of Senators and 47% of House Members received an "A" by the NAACP, a significant step up from last year. We applaud the members who continue to uphold the importance of basic civil rights for all Americans, as demonstrated by the passage of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
However, there are many that have yet to show their commitment to fundamental civil and human rights. In fact, 29% of Senators and 34% of House Members received the failing grade of "F" on the report card.
Is your representative one of them?
