[1]Women's March
We’re not going to sugarcoat this for you,
John.
This is really bad: Republicans are waging a full-blown attack on voting
rights from the national and local level. From blocking the For the People
Act last night — to passing local voter suppression laws across the
country that target people of color — the GOP is determined to silence
voters.
[ [link removed] ][IMG]Let’s make this clear: Republicans are doing this because they’re
terrified of our grassroots power. They know that a record number of women
voters — thanks to the efforts of Black and Brown organizers — rose up in
2020 to win back the White House and the Senate.
So now they’re doing everything in their power to strip crucial voter
protections and stop our voices from being heard in future elections.
Here’s how we’re going to fight back: Our organizing team is preparing to
launch an ambitious program leading up to the 2022 Election Cycle. Its
purpose will be to leverage the power of women all across the country to
combat voter suppression and elect leaders who are committed to fighting
for voter rights and a feminist future.

Election Fund so our organizing team can start combating voter suppression
efforts on the ground and make sure our voices are heard in every
election.

This is not what a democracy looks like,
John.
Not only did Senate Republicans and Conservative Democrats vote to block
the For the People Act last night — they’ve been working together to pass
local voter suppression laws in states like Arizona, Florida, Michigan,
and Texas.
For example, Georgia Republicans recently passed sweeping election
regulations in another attempt to suppress our votes and further Trump’s
narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from him. The legislation they
passed will:
❌ Reduce what hours Georgians are able to vote
❌ Prohibit organizations from giving food and water to voters waiting in
line (hours-long lines in Georgia are extremely common especially in areas
with high density of Black and Brown voters)
❌ Highly restrict places where folks can drop off their mail-in ballots
❌ Add burdensome requirements for voters to confirm their identity
That’s why we know that it’s important to start preparing NOW to organize
our communities, make sure every person who can cast a vote has the
resources to do so, and vote out every Republican who’s betrayed our
democracy.
We’re committed to this fight — but our plans are limited by how much
funding and resources our team has to invest in our organizing work.

organizing work as we fight against voter suppression and prepare to
unleash our grassroots power this upcoming election?
