We're in the middle of both a worldwide pandemic and an election year.

If we're going to carry forward as a democracy and fight the coronavirus, we need to protect everyone's right to vote.

Sign our petition if you agree that we need emergency vote-by-mail so that no Americans are shut out of our democracy.

It's never been more important to expand access to voting for all Americans. Vote-by-mail will help those most affected by the ongoing global health crisis.

This year in particular, vote-by-mail is critical, especially for vulnerable populations who deserve a voice and a vote, no matter what. It's also critical for folks on the front lines — doctors, nurses, biomedical researchers — who shouldn't be asked to leave work to stand in line at polling places.

This isn't a distant threat to our elections. Several states have already postponed their primary elections because of coronavirus. States are being forced to choose between forgoing their elections or putting their residents at risk.

Americans shouldn't have to choose between exercising their constitutional right to vote and putting their health at risk.

Our country has a long history of taking urgent and swift action when our constitutional rights are on the line. This should be no different.

Sign the petition to demand all voters have access to vote-by-mail.
