"So long as I do not firmly and irrevocably possess the right to vote I do not possess myself. I cannot make up my mind — it is made up for me. I cannot live as a democratic citizen, observing the laws I have helped to enact — I can only submit to the edict of others."
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1957 "Give Us the Ballot" speech


Today, we honor Dr. King by recommitting to the fight for equal access to the ballot for all. Join us: add your name to our petition, and call out discriminatory laws and tactics that deny eligible voters access to the ballot. [[link removed]]

A little over a year ago, a record number of voters — led by women of color — turned out and voted their values to demand transformative change in our country. In the days and months since, we have endured numerous attacks on our democracy and our right to vote.

In many states across the country, there has been a calculated and malicious effort to make it harder for voters to cast our ballots. Officials have purged thousands of voters from the rolls, reduced the number of polling places, put in place strict voter ID guidelines and passed ridiculous laws that prevent organizations like NDWA from supporting communities of color and making a difference when it’s time to head to the polls.

These attacks weren’t a surprise: while women of color and our communities showed our collective power, there were many who wished to slow down our hard-won progress.

Today, we hope you will honor Dr. King's legacy and take a stand to fight back against this widespread voter suppression. We are doing all we can this election season to ensure no voters are left behind. Stand with us in our fight [[link removed]] to ensure women of color and other marginalized voices are heard at the ballot box and beyond.

Voting is but one way to imagine a future that works for domestic workers, caregivers, women of color, and immigrants. But it's important that we all remember that our votes speak for us and our values, and NO ONE has the right to silence us.

Thanks for all that you do,

The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.

Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
