John, we'll be blunt: The lies about a “stolen” 2020 election are still being used to justify “election integrity” efforts that are stripping Americans, particularly certain vulnerable populations, of their fundamental democratic rights.
We've seen this in the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), it is part of the ongoing hyper-partisan redistricting efforts across the country, but the least visible front is the widespread assault on youth voting rights.
New “voter integrity” laws have hit college-age voters particularly hard across the country, but especially in states like North Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio. Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer, fundraiser, and Trump ally, has gone state to state, spreading the lies about the 2020 presidential election and calling for banning voting on college campuses, rolling back same-day voter registration, and ending the practice in some states of automatically mailing ballots to registered voters.
These are all attacks on youth voting. It's clear that opponents of voting rights see suppressing the youth vote as a key pillar in their attempts to hold onto power in perpetuity.
We need to spread the word and protect our fundamental right to vote regardless of age, but the corporate media isn't paying attention. Will you pitch in with $25 or whatever you can today to help us spread the word and fight back against these suppressive laws? >>
