We're calling on Congress to take action now to ensure Americans are able to safely and securely cast their ballots. Tell your members of Congress to fully fund new voting measures.
It's time to break down barriers to accessible voting. Map manipulators will obstruct this progress in order to maintain power -- we've already seen it play out in Wisconsin's election this month. They want to silence our votes in key elections before the 2021 redistricting process.
Map manipulators are afraid of measures like requesting absentee ballots online because it will make voting more accessible to students, parents with nontraditional work hours, folks living with disabilities, and communities with fewer polling centers -- not just during this public health crisis, but in future elections as well. Power-hungry politicians know that their power hinges on disenfranchising voters in communities like these, so they will work to stop Congress from taking action.
Tell your members of Congress to support initiatives like expanding vote-by-mail that will make voting safe, fair, and accessible.
