Between the redistricting saga roiling the country and the Supreme Court’s likely gutting of the Voting Rights Act this term, I can’t think of a better time to be teaching voting rights and the law of democracy.
This work is important to me, Friend. Now more than ever, I wholeheartedly believe that it's our responsibility to stand up for democratic norms and fight against the authoritarian power grab Trump is orchestrating across the country.
And that's why I'm proud of the work we’ve done in Albany to strengthen democracy and expand voting rights, like:
✅ Passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act to protect against voter intimidation and suppression and expanding language access at the polls.
✅ Enacting early voting so that you can vote at a time that is convenient for you.
✅ Expedite the counting of absentee ballots so we don’t have unnecessary delays in getting election results.
And when I’m not in Albany passing legislation to improve democracy, I’m working with leaders across the country to strategize on how we can fight back against the assault Trump is unleashing against free and fair elections.
