Things have been moving quickly here:

Georgia lawmakers are trying to ram through a new bill that is an attack on fairness and equal participation in our democracy.

We’re calling House Bill 397 the Early Vote Erosion Act because that’s exactly what it would do.

By letting local governments opt out of offering early voting on Saturdays for municipal elections, it would…

• Suppress turnout in local elections, where decisions are made that directly impact people’s lives
• Create unequal access to voting by making it harder for working people and rural voters to participate
• Chip away at voting rights and silence voters who already face the most barriers to the ballot box

At Fair Fight Action, we’re mobilizing Georgians to contact legislators and speak out against this bill. We’re getting the word out about its harms. And we’re working closely with allies to lobby against this legislation and do everything we can to keep it from becoming law.

But we need this team’s support. Can you make a donation right now to protect the freedom to vote and help stop new anti-voter bills like the Early Vote Erosion Act?

This bill is part of a long history of voter suppression tactics that erode public trust and democracy itself.

In Georgia, new laws in the past few years have undermined free and fair elections: making mass voter purges easier, imposing burdensome voter ID requirements, criminalizing handing out food and water to voters in line, and placing unnecessary limits on ballot drop boxes.

We have to keep the new Early Vote Erosion Act from joining that list.

And we have to move fast: Thursday is the deadline for bills to pass one chamber of the Georgia General Assembly so they can be considered before the end of the legislative session, which is one month from today.

Please chip in right now to help defeat anti-voter legislation like the Early Vote Erosion Act in Georgia and help ensure free and fair elections.

We’ll keep you updated on what comes next with this bill.
