Former first lady Michelle Obama has a message for Americans ahead of the 2022 midterm elections: "We've got to vote like the future of our democracy depends on it.

"In a letter titled "Fight For Our Vote," which was published Sunday as an ad in the New York Times, Obama and her voting rights organization When We All Vote called on Americans to continue engaging in democracy amid a historic attack on voting rights.

The letter -- which comes as Congress has yet to move on voting rights legislation at the federal level -- was signed by 30 other civic engagement, voting rights and voter mobilization organizations including the NAACP, Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight Action, Voto Latino Foundation, NextGen America, LeBron James' More Than A Vote and Rock the Vote.

"We stand united in our conviction to organize and turn out voters in the 2022 midterm elections, and make our democracy work for all of us," Obama wrote in the letter.
