Voter registration is the key to protecting voting rights
John -- this campaign to register 1 million new voters as a coalition is the most important thing we're doing over the next 143 days.
Vote-suppressing state legislatures are gearing up to pass more restrictive laws. Congress is paralyzed. Beating our voter registration goal -- again -- to register so many new voters might be our best hope to turn the tide so we can protect and expand our right to vote.
John -- In 2022Former First Lady Michelle Obama challenged a coalition of voting rights organizations to be a part of her efforts to "register more than a million new voters across the country" as part of that year's elections.We're ramping up to do it again this year and we're asking for your help so we can do our part to reach that goal.
The math is simple:
➜ It costs us around $3 to register a new voter
➜ That means for every $30,000 we raise, we can register 10,000 new voters
➜ Polls show a major shift going on, and Michelle's work can truly impact 2024's elections
Not to mention that the more people who vote, the more our government looks like us and not the privileged powerful.
Michelle Obama knows the score. She'scompared modern voter suppression tactics to “poll taxes, literacy tests, and laws designed to strip away [our] power,” and said that “we must give Congress no choice but to act decisively to protect the right to vote and make the ballot box more accessible for everyone.”
This is when we need to pull out all the stops. There's so much on the line in 2024, with just months to go before Election Day. Registering more than 1 million new voters this year could make the difference between opponents of voting rights taking charge to codify voter suppression for the next decade or having the votes we need to end the filibuster and pass sweeping new voting rights laws.
Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
