This is important. Republican legislatures across the nation — including right here in Washington — are gaining momentum on bills that threaten our right to vote.
This past election we saw voters casting their ballots in record numbers across the country — young and old voters, new voters, and voters of color showed up to make their voices heard.
Republican legislators saw this as a threat. Now, they’ve introduced hundreds of voter suppression bills in state legislatures across the country — and they’re gaining momentum.
We’re proud of our Washington Senate Democrats, who have led the nation in passing laws to protect voting rights, including just recently passing a bill expanding the right to vote to formerly incarcerated folks —
but, Republican lawmakers even here in Washington have proposed voter ID measures and limits to vote by mail that would suppress our voices!
We must take action — we need 5,000 activists to step up and add their name in the next 48 hours to defend voting rights here in Washington:
These GOP-led voter suppression bills across the country are attacks on our democracy — and many of them are rooted in racism.
Join us in the fight against attempts to roll back our access to the ballot:

It is our duty to protect and uphold our democracy, and that requires all of us standing up for every American’s right to vote.
Thank you,
WA Senate Democrats
