Friend,
Republicans in the House just passed a voter suppression bill – and now it’s speeding toward the Senate.
This bill is about rigging elections, not protecting them. The bill would force people to jump through new bureaucratic hoops just to register to vote – requiring specific citizenship documents every single time they register – even if they’ve already proven they’re eligible!
And let’s be honest: this bill isn’t about fairness – it’s about fear. Fear of a rising, diverse electorate that’s rejecting right-wing extremism.
Republicans are pushing this because they know the voters they’re trying to silence – young people, voters of color, immigrant communities – are the very ones most likely to vote them out. So, they’re changing the rules.
This bill throws up new, unnecessary barriers to registration under the false pretense of “election integrity.” But the real goal is to intimidate and exclude the very voters who are powering a multiracial democracy – especially communities of color and immigrants.
The House just approved this so-called “SAVE Act.” Now it’s up to the Senate to shut it down.
Add your name to demand the Senate reject this voter suppression bill! >>
Let’s be clear: this bill is built on a lie. There is no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting – and there never has been. Every credible analysis confirms it’s incredibly rare, and our election systems already have safeguards in place to prevent it.
This bill is about protecting power, not protecting elections. It’s about using fear and disinformation to shut down the growing, multiracial electorate that Republicans are desperate to silence.
If this bill becomes law, it will block countless eligible citizens from registering, derail voter registration drives, and lead to mass purges of the rolls – with no requirement to even notify the voters being removed. It’s targeted. It’s calculated. And it’s wrong.
It’s anti-voter and anti-democracy. The Senate must stop this bill.

We’re counting on you to raise your voice and help stop this before it goes any further. Thanks for being in this fight with us.
In solidarity,
