John — The last year has been a devastating one for voting rights.
In 2021, state lawmakers introduced almost 400 restrictive bills in 48 states that limit our right to vote. And there are even more laws to come this year. Despite these blatant attacks on the voting rights of people of color, federal lawmakers have failed to take action and pass legislation to protect our basic rights.
But we are unmoved. We refuse to give up.
It is important to the strength of our democracy, and essential to building the inclusive, caring society that we all deserve, that we combat all systems of voter suppression. We must ensure that the right to vote is available to everyone who is eligible.
We elect our lawmakers to represent us and our values. But the Senate’s recent failure to pass voting rights legislation shows us that some of our elected officials would rather uphold the filibuster, an outdated and racist rule, rather than serve the people of this country.
This is not how democracy is supposed to work.
We are fighting back against voter suppression, because a democracy that works for everyone requires that all eligible voters are allowed to participate in the process. We need you to join us.
Black, Latina, Asian and Indigenous women are stepping into our power — putting cracks in glass ceilings, running for office in record numbers, organizing and turning out millions of voters, and saving our democracy.
At the same time, we are forced to sit back and watch as those elected to serve enact legislation after legislation that actively suppresses our vote and forces our communities to the margins.
We're fighting back and we'll keep fighting, until our right to vote is protected and our voices are heard. Join us and pledge to help protect our democracy by working to get out the vote so that everyone’s voice is heard.

Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of the National Domestic Workers Alliance!
We're working day and night to win respect, recognition, and labor rights and protections for the more than 2.5 million nannies, house cleaners, and homecare workers.
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.
