In March of 1913, nearly six weeks
after its founding, several Delta
Sigma Theta Founders marched in the historic
Suffragist March under the Delta
Sigma Theta Banner, the Sorority's first public
act. Today, low voter turnout statistics highlight the
need to continue to identify ways to include
opportunities for all citizens to exercise their voting
power.
Under the auspices of the National
Social Action Commission, Delta
Sigma Theta continues to institute programs that
advocate:
- The reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act.
- The repeal of voter disenfranchisement laws.
- The full restoration of voting rights for
individuals who have paid their debt to society.
- The full implementation of the Help America
Vote Act.
