John,

Extremists have turned to burdensome and restrictive voter ID mandates to silence already marginalized communities. These are tactics pulled straight from the voter suppression playbook, and it’s our duty to speak out as anti-voter extremists continue to push them. 

If you agree that voter ID laws are discriminatory, and if you support Fair Fight Action’s efforts to stop voter suppression tactics like this, add your name right away.

John, voter ID laws only started appearing in the past 20 years, as anti-voter extremists have schemed to devise new ways to block access to the ballot box. Today, there are 36 states with voter ID laws — opening the door for voter disenfranchisement.

There’s no doubt that voter ID laws are a relic of the Jim Crow era. These restrictive voter ID laws disproportionately target and burden Black, brown, elderly, student, rural, and low-income voters. While anti-voter extremists often attempt to justify these laws with the claim that everyone has the necessary IDs, the fact is, a significant portion of eligible voters lack the IDs required. Moreover, the racial turnout gap has grown in states that have passed anti-voting laws including strict voter ID laws. 

Fair Fight Action is committed to helping eligible voters make their voices heard, free from discriminatory practices like restrictive voter ID laws, but we need you in this fight. Will you add your name today to show that you strongly oppose burdensome voter ID laws?

Thanks for taking action, 

The Fair Fight Action Team

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
