We won’t back down

Dear John, You may have seen the headlines yesterday about the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which significantly weakens the Voting Rights Act. I won’t sugarcoat it: It’s bad news. But I know you turn to VoteRiders for trusted information about our democracy, so let me br…

When Howard needed a second chance

Dear John, More than 600,000 individuals are released from prison every year, yet there are few state and no federal systems in place to make sure they can get the fundamental documents they need to rejoin society, rebuild their lives, and claim their right to vote. Many of those returning citiz…

Caroline now has the ID she needs to vote in Texas

Dear John, Four years ago, Caroline’s home in Dallas, Texas, was broken into. Her Social Security card, state ID, and other vital documents were all stolen. Unfortunately, in Texas, that meant she wouldn’t be able to vote. It also meant she couldn’t start a new job, which she really needed sinc…

Dear John, The other day, a friend said to me, “You must be busy getting ready for the midterm elections.” I told them, “Girl, the midterms are already here!” It’s true: People are already voting in primary elections in states across the country. Be sure you’re ready to vote in your st…

[NEW] Millions of Californians could lose their freedom to vote

Dear John, Have you heard about this potential ballot initiative that would deprive millions of Californians of their right to vote if passed? State officials are still verifying signatures, but it is likely that Californians will vote this November on whether to require an ID to vote in the Gold…

[BRIEFING] The state of voter suppression

Dear John, There is so much news every single day that it can feel difficult to keep up. One of the most common forms of voter suppression is confusion — voters don’t know whether or not they have the ID they need to vote, so they stay home or are turned away at the polls. Misinformation, s…
