Dear John,

It's no secret that women are the backbone of our democracy. Voting at higher rates than men since 1980, women continue to drive our voting population. Women's voices shape our lives and communities — from the price of groceries to the quality of our schools.

Women are making and breaking history every single day, but lawmakers are still trying to suppress their power by passing unnecessary and harmful voter ID laws.

In 38 states, voters are required to show a specific ID to cast a ballot. An estimated four out of five women change their last names when they get married or divorced, meaning the ID they have to vote may not match the name they originally registered to vote with, sometimes many years ago.

This means that millions of women may not have the ID they need to vote — and the situation is only getting worse. House Republicans kicked off 2025 by introducing the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill that would require all Americans to provide documents proving their citizenship (like a birth certificate) to register to vote or update their voter registration. Over 60 million American women have changed their name after marriage and don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name. 

That’s over 60 million American women who could be disenfranchised under the SAVE Act. 

This Women's History Month, read more about this serious issue — and the ways VoteRiders is helping women fight back and cast their vote with confidence.

Since 2012, VoteRiders has helped millions of women across the country navigate confusing ID-related barriers to the ballot box. From single mothers, unhoused women, domestic abuse survivors, trans women, and more, we're making sure all women have what they need to access their freedom to vote.

ID laws, are a deliberate and well-funded effort to silence the majority of our nation’s voting population because lawmakers are afraid of the power their votes and voices can have on our democracy.

That's why we're fighting back.
