The National Urban League is warning that some lawmakers and violent extremists are plotting to "disenfranchise, delude, manipulate, and intimidate American voters and establish a one-party rule."
The President of the National Urban League issues a dire warning: "Democracy is under siege, and there's a plot to destroy American democracy.”
There’s one step every person can take to save our democracy and ensure it does not fall into the hands of authoritarians: Support pro-voter, pro-democracy, Democratic Secretary of State candidates who believe in democracy are committed to protecting our elections.
The organization cites five steps every person of color can take to combat right-wing scare tactics: Checking registration status, knowing your state's voter ID laws, knowing where to vote, making a plan to vote, and voting in every election.
But democracy and the right to vote should not depend on individual actions and precautions. The machinery of democracy itself must be protected and operated by people with a deep, abiding belief that voting is a sacred right.
We cannot allow violence to threaten the foundation of our democracy. We cannot allow the millions of dollars being spent by Trump supporters to install election officials who do not believe in democracy.
Now is the time to ensure pro-voter, pro-democracy Democratic Secretaries of State win so they can protect our democracy and the right to vote.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
