State legislators across the country are hard at work making sure that the historic voter turnout achieved in 2020 never happens again. Legislators and local election officials in 43 states are exploiting the lack of federal oversight to force through policies that disproportionately limit Black voters’ access to the ballot. The Freedom to Vote Act would roll back many of the voter suppression laws being passed across the country. It requires all states to allow online voter registration, in person early voting, and absentee ballots to all voters.
When a mob of white insurrectionists tried to overturn the results of the election we witnessed the fragility of our democracy. Because of the filibuster, Senate Republicans have the power to block the Freedom To Vote Act, and every other bill that could strengthen our democracy. Send a message to your Senator that the filibuster should not be able to stand in the way of meaningful democracy reform. Instate a democracy carveout and pass the Freedom to Vote Act immediately!
