John,
We know the news cycle in the Trump era is hard if not impossible to keep
up with.
But we wanted to make sure you saw this: ⤵️
[ [link removed] ]A headline from Democracy Docket discussing the negative consequences
that could come about if the GOP's 'SAVE Act' is passed and signed into
law.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to pass the ‘SAVE Act’. If
it becomes law, the bill would disenfranchise millions of voters across
the country and severely undermine our democracy for years to come.
Shamefully, four Democrats decided to sell out their constituents by
voting for the Republican bill.
The legislation is part of a longstanding GOP plan to suppress voter
turnout that would effectively end online and mail voter registration,
mandate faulty voter roll purges, and exclude millions of citizens —
Democrats and Republicans alike — from access to the ballot box if they
don’t have the proper documents.
Approximately 21.3 million Americans — more than 9% of voters — do not
have such documents readily available.
As of now, the bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, but we’re not
taking any chances.
We’re mobilizing against this anti-democratic legislation by urging folks
like you to take action. [ [link removed] ]Can you take a quick moment to send a message
to your senators telling them to STOP the SAVE Act from becoming law?

Voters of color, trans people, disabled and rural voters and the tens of
millions who change their names upon getting married would be
disproportionately affected.
This bill comes as Donald Trump separately signed a series of executive
orders designed to make voting more difficult.
The goal of all of these efforts is clear.
This isn’t about “safeguarding” or “protecting” our elections from illegal
voting and voter fraud — both of which are exceedingly rare.
It’s about power and who controls it.
It’s about extremist politicians who want to protect themselves and choose their
voters.
But that's NOT how democracy works.
This bill is an existential threat to our rights and freedoms and it
cannot be ignored. The SAVE Act would undermine voters’ ability to
participate in free and fair elections.
John, voting
is a right, not a privilege. We won’t allow the far-right to trample our
democracy. And we’re going to fight like hell to make sure they fail in
passing the SAVE Act. But we need your help.
[ [link removed] ]Tell your Senators to vote NO on this anti-democratic bill and protect
our voting rights.

Thank you for taking action today to defend our democracy. More to come on
this soon.
In solidarity,
