Tell Congress to Stop Interfering in DC
The District of Columbia, while known to many as the seat of our nation's government, is also where many people live, work, raise their families, pay taxes, and call home. However, unlike people living in the 50 US states, the residents of DC live under local laws that are subject to congressional interference. This is undemocratic.
Urge your Members of Congress to oppose interference in DC!

Oppose the SAVE Act Suite of Bills
Congress continues to introduce bills that would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register and/or vote, including the SAVE America Act, the Safeguard Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), and the Make Elections Great Again Act (MEGA).
The SAVE Act would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents.

Tell Congress the Census Must Count All People
Last year, the House and Senate introduced the Equal Representation Act (H.R.151 and S.2205) to add a citizenship question to the 2030 Census and exclude noncitizens from the apportionment process, which determines the number of members each US state sends to the House of Representatives.

Tell Your Representatives to Protect Equal Voting Rights
Since the 2013 Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder gutted the Voting Rights Act (VRA), at least 31 states have enacted 114 voting laws that make it harder to vote, with the burden falling hardest on Black voters and other voters of color. We need a fully restored VRA to defend our democracy and protect the freedom to vote.
Tell your members of Congress to protect the freedom to vote and support the passage of the JLVRAA.

Demand Equal Rights
More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, the federal government has still not consistently recognized the constitutional right to sex and gender equality. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) constitutionally protects the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex.

Support the Expansion of Voting Rights!
More than 50 years after the Voting Rights Act was passed, full protections for voting rights are not guaranteed for all voters. While we have made progress in expanding voter access, many people still face challenges to participating in elections due to factors including income, health, age, race, disability, and gender. Voting is a fundamental right, and all Americans deserve an equal opportunity to make their voices heard in our democracy.
Urge Congress to protect the right to vote!
