Elected officials are seeking to suppress eligible Americans from voting.

The SAVE Act changes how eligible Americans register to vote.

Stand with us to oppose these measures. We want our elections to be free, fair, and accessible for all eligible Americans.

"We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience and patience creates unity." —Malcolm X

We must work together for justice, freedom, and an inclusive community.

We must participate in democracy to protect it.

Oppose President Trump’s call to “nationalize” elections.

Courts, nonpartisan election officials and the DOJ have disproven claims of widespread fraud.

📞Call or email your federal representatives and senators. Tell them to protect free and fair elections— a strong democracy depends on it.

Dear Democracy,

Sending you lots of love today and every day.

We'll never stop fighting for voters and voting rights.
