John,
Last night, Mitch McConnell led the opposition in the Senate against critically needed voting rights legislation, which 80 percent of Americans support. The legislation would have created national standards for voter accessibility, ending dark money in politics to prevent billionaires from buying elections and guarantee that congressional districts are drawn to give fair representation for all.
We need to hold Mitch McConnell and his allies in the Senate accountable. Can you help us get digital ads up in targeted states to fight for a democracy that works for all of us?
In response to President Biden’s historic victory, State Legislatures have launched Jim Crow 2.0 voter suppression laws, rolling back voting rights in states throughout the U.S. They are working to undermine our democracy and make it more difficult for people to vote.
This is what we’re up against and why we need federal legislation to ensure our voting rights are protected:
"This year, 18 states have enacted more than 30 laws described as 'anti-voter' by the nonpartisan Voting Rights Lab, which tracks developments in state election rules. The restrictions affect roughly 36 million people, or 15 percent of all eligible voters, the group stated in a report last week.
The state laws impose changes including restricting access to mail voting, creating new hurdles to voter registration, establishing new voter ID requirements and expanding the definition of criminal behavior by voters, election officials and third parties."1
Our democracy needs national voting standards to combat these relentless attacks. Hold Mitch McConnell accountable by donating $5 today to fund CHN's digital ads in targeted states and fight for a democracy that represents all of us.
