Protecting Democracy

Take Action

Support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act

Attacks on voting rights seek to undercut communities’ fundamental rights and our democracy. This critical bill would restore the protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and ensure every American has access to the ballot box. Contact your representatives today to encourage them to safeguard the right to vote.

Urge Your Representatives to Oppose the SAVE Act

On April 10, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 22, also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The Senate still needs to vote on the SAVE Act, but if signed into law, this bill would require potential voters to have to prove their citizenship in order to vote. Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act!
