Friend,

Today, the Senate failed to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act. This bill would have ensured that democracy wins, so that elections are free, fair, and without barriers.

Here at the Institute for a Progressive Nevada, we are passionate about the freedom to vote. We work every single day to ensure that all voters, nationwide, enjoy the same access and ease of voting that we have here in Nevada. Since our founding in 2009, we have led the fight against disinformation and have been one of the loudest voices for voting rights and expansion in Carson City.

For far too long, some states have tried to suppress participation in voting by passing restrictive laws that create unacceptable barriers to the ballot box. It is important to make sure that every American can safely cast their ballot because we KNOW that increased voter participation is critical to a strong democracy.

History will remember those who voted for, or against this legislation. With the propagation of disinformation and attacks on our elections, we are at a critical moment in history where we must prevent free and fair elections from being sabotaged in the name of lies.

To counter the rampant anti-voting sentiment and disinformation that escalated during our last election, we re-doubled our efforts toward voter education, registration, and voting rights, leading to RECORD-BREAKING voter turnout. And in our most recent legislative sessions, we fought fiercely to defend voter access in Nevada with our partners with MULTIPLE pieces of legislation — and Nevadans won because of our work.

Nevada is a leader in access to voting rights because of our work with our partners. Will you pledge $10 monthly to us today so we can continue to educate voters and fight the disinformation of bad actors working to undermine our democracy?
