Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act!
Your vote is your voice. It's time to ensure that every American is heard.
In the past decade, we've seen a troubling trend of voter suppression exploding across the country. The Supreme Court's Shelby County ruling in 2013 opened the floodgates for states to enact laws that disproportionately affect communities of color and low-income voters, making it harder for them to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
In the wake of the 2020 election, these efforts have only intensified. A wave of restrictive voting laws has swept across the country, with states like Florida and Texas targeting voters under the guise of preventing "voter fraud" - a claim that has been widely debunked after zero evidence of widespread voter fraud.
The American Confidence in Elections Act, proposed by House Republicans, is a clear example of this trend. It seeks to impose burdens on voting, boost the influence of billionaires and corporations in our elections, and completely rewrite election law for the District of Columbia. If passed, this bill would undermine Americans' voices and empower corporate special interests.
But there is hope.
The Freedom to Vote Act, a comprehensive voting rights bill, was recently reintroduced in Congress. This legislation would protect and expand the right to vote—ensuring that every eligible voter, regardless of their background or circumstances, can participate in our democracy.
It also seeks to counteract the harmful effects of dark money in politics, bringing transparency to our electoral process and reducing the influence of wealthy special interest groups. It includes provisions to modernize our voting systems, making them more accessible and reliable–including measures like automatic voter registration, expanded early voting, and protections against discriminatory voter ID laws.
We need your help to make this a reality across the country.
By signing this petition, you're standing up for democracy. You're demanding that Congress pass the Freedom to Vote Act and end voter suppression. You're advocating for a future where every American has an equal say in our democracy.
Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Let's make sure it's heard. Sign the petition. Demand Congress pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
