Tell the Senate to reject the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act!
Our vote is the most powerful tool we have to help ensure that every American has a say in the decisions that impact their communities and lives. But freedom and democracy are not guaranteed in America - these principles have to be actively fostered and protected.
Yet again, the majority in Congress is trying to make voting inaccessible by pushing a bill that disenfranchises voters by needlessly making them jump through hoops - and it has already passed the House.
The SAVE Act is a vehicle for voter suppression deceptively proposed as an ‘election integrity’ measure to ‘secure elections’. This legislation would require American citizens who are registering or updating their registration to vote to go in person and present proof of citizenship documents. Among many other grave concerns, this measure would disenfranchise mail-in, online, and automatic voter registration that have been trusted parts of our electoral process for years. It would also needlessly create barriers for eligible voters, like the tens of millions of married people who’ve changed their surnames, people who have changed addresses, and rural voters and voters in the military.
We need to make it easier to vote in our country: not harder. Take just one minute NOW to tell your senators in Congress to soundly reject the SAVE Act.
