FairVote
FairVote's Right to Vote Amendment page provides several resources, including a Right to Vote FAQ, a History of Voting Rights, and a list of Right to Vote Supporters. They have also held events like the Democracy Next Forum with the lead congressional sponsors of H.J. Res. 44.
Rainbow PUSH Coalition
The Rainbow PUSH Coalition was founded by Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr, a strong supporter of a Right to Vote Amendment. Rev. Jackson has provided support for an explicit right to vote in his weekly commentary in the Chicago Sun-Times, among other speeches and writings. He has also been instrumental in the passing of Right to Vote Resolutions in major U.S. cities, which call on Congress to establish an explicit right to vote in the U.S. Constitution.

Advancement Project
The Advancement Project maintains a comprehensive and up-to-date list of resources pertaining to voting rights issues as part of its Right to Vote campaign, which documents the ways in which voting rights are vulnerable across the nation, and solutions that need your support and action. In 2008, they produced an analysis of the need for a Right to Vote Amendment to the U.S. Constitution titled 'In Pursuit of an Affirmative Right to Vote'. They also feature an interactive Voter Protection Map.
