Protect Our Voting Rights
All eligible voters should be able to cast their ballot freely and fairly. Right now, our voting rights are under attack. With record levels of voter turnout in 2020, we are now seeing attempts by the GOP to cut back on voter access. This is why we need Congress to pass the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT (H.R.1) as well as the JOHN LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ADVANCEMENT ACT (S.4263). These bills would be the first major reform to our democracy in recent history. If enacted, our democracy would become stronger by expanding voting rights and rooting out partisan gerrymandering.
To ensure Congress passes these bills, contact your representatives and senators. You can take immediate action by sending a message to Congress through ACLU: Congress: Protect Our Voting Rights.
