John, the fight over our voting rights just escalated in a massive way.
News just broke that at least 58 Democratic members of the Texas state House of Representatives are boycotting the Texas legislative session in an effort to block the Republicans' Jim Crow-esque voter suppression legislation from advancing.
Leaving Texas to block this bill is a drastic but necessary move by Texas Democrats to stop these restrictive, racist efforts to suppress our votes from passing — and they're risking arrest to do it. This is exactly the kind of bold protest we all must join in and throw our support behind.
Women's March is working tirelessly to organize our volunteers to be on the front lines of this pivotal fight for our voting rights, so if you've been waiting to contribute in support of defending our voting rights, there has never been a more crucial moment.
What's happening right now in Texas is sadly just one example of the coordinated and insidious Republican attacks on our voting rights. Voter suppression laws specifically designed to silence the voices of voters — and especially Black and brown voters — are popping up in states all over the country.
But here's how Women's March is fighting 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 voting rights and a feminist future.
Thank you for taking this urgent action to defend voting rights,
Women's March
