We need your help to fight back. Friend, This month alone, we saw new voter suppression laws, attacks on fair maps, new barriers targeting young and minority voters, and more state-level efforts designed to quietly weaken democratic participation. Most of it got buried und…

They're counting on people looking away

Voting rights are being eroded in front of our eyes. Friend, Voting rights are being chipped away state by state, court by court, election by election. What’s happening is no longer isolated. It’s coordinated. Across the country, politicians and their allies are restricti…

The right’s dark money machine is escalating

Friend, For years, right-wing operatives and billionaire donors have built a political machine designed to weaken voting rights, reshape the courts, and entrench minority rule across the country. Now we are seeing the consequences everywhere. After the Supreme Court weakened protection…
