Hey,
It's been more than 100 years since women secured the right to vote. States didn't just grant that right freely; women had to fight tooth and nail for it. They marched, they picketed, they went on hunger strikes -- and they didn't stop until the 19th Amendment was ratified.
Now, more than a century later, many women are being forced to fight all over again for their right to be heard.
Republican state legislatures are enacting restrictive new laws that will make it harder for women of color, seniors, stay-at-home moms, and so many others to cast their ballots. They're also preparing to gerrymander new congressional districts to dilute Democratic votes ahead of next year's elections. We have to do everything we can to protect every American's sacred right to vote.
If you agree that it's time to defend your right to vote, join Bob in supporting the For the People Act now. Add your name >>
The For the People Act would defend and expand voting rights for all Americans, reduce the influence of money in politics, prevent politicians from picking their voters through gerrymandering, and create new ethics rules to hold office holders to a higher standard.
Last year, Donald Trump and his allies sabotaged the United States Postal Service in an attempt to prevent Americans from voting by mail. Republicans sued elections officials to try to stop early voting and throw away valid ballots, and many of these tactics were targeted at working people, women, and people of color.
Their attempt to rig last year's election by depriving eligible voters of their rights failed. But now, Republican legislators have only become more brazen in their attacks with new voter suppression bills and voter purges making headlines each day.
We must fight back against attacks on your voting rights and our democracy. Join Bob in supporting the For the People Act now.
Thank you,
Team Casey
