Timely Asks
Contact your reps!
Next week, the House of Representatives is expected to vote on H.R.22, the SAVE Act.
Tell your rep to vote No on the SAVE Act, an attack on democracy hiding in plain sight!
This bill would create unnecessary new barriers to the ballot box and threatens to block millions of eligible Americans from voting who lack easy access to these records due to financial or systemic barriers. It's a bill based on lies about widespread voter fraud, which is FALSE. Federal law prohibits voting by noncitizens in federal elections, including elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential elections.
Take action today to protect our democracy and our rights!
