Sign the petition: Stop partisan GOP gerrymandering!

John, here at DASS we believe in some simple principles. Our elections should be secure and accessible. Every eligible adult should be able to vote. And moving district borders to help your party win should be against the rules.   A new study shows that when Republicans ge…

Supreme court upholds voter suppression bills

now it’s on us to defend democracy! >> John, Last month’s Supreme Court decision was a crushing loss. But we’re in no position to pack up and go home. The GOP launches fresh attacks on our democracy every single day! That’s why we need a new approach – and focusing on Se…

re: Violent threats against election workers ‘reach an alarming level’ (2)

On January 6th, MAGA extremists attacked the Capitol. It was a dark day in our nation’s history, and the culprits have still not been brought to justice. Next year, we could see even more violence. The far-right has threatened election officials at every level of the democrat…

“Political theater”: the aftermath of Arizona’s #fraudit >>>

It’s just not that complicated, John. First, the GOP undermines faith in the election system, takes power from Secretaries of State, and spreads dangerous, violent conspiracy theories. Then, when they say the next election is rigged, nobody will be left to stand up to them. …

The insidious plan to sabotage democracy
