Petition to Congress: We urge you to pass a slate of legislation to protect and expand voting rights in America: the Freedom to Vote Act, John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, Native American Voting Rights Act, and D.C. Statehood. | Petition to Congress: We urge you to pass a slate of legislation to protect and expand voting rights in America: the Freedom to Vote Act, John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, Native American Voting Rights Act, and D.C. Statehood. ADD YOUR NAME The House GOP is spreading disinformation about voter registration and voter fraud, targeting the nonexistent problem they call "noncitizen voting." And Republicans are threatening to shut down the government if their anti-democratic voter suppression bill doesn't pass. The GOP measure would make it harder for people to register to vote and exercise their constitutional voting rights. Congress can't let the extreme right-wing fearmonger its way to greater restrictions on the right to vote. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to fight voter suppression by rejecting GOP extremism and passing landmark voting rights legislation. We've seen what state-level Republican lawmakers, the House GOP, and right-wing SCOTUS justices are willing to do to upend the principles of democracy and stop people from voting. In order to truly counter these anti-democratic attempts to suppress the vote, Congress must pass four bills that protect and expand voting rights to all Americans. The Freedom to Vote Act, John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, Native American Voting Rights Act, and D.C. Statehood would together be the biggest legislative victory for the American right to vote since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and John Roberts were all on the right-wing side of the 2013 SCOTUS ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act. Democracy is under attack from the right-wing courts — Congress must act immediately to restore voting rights and stop voter suppression. Add your name: Tell Congress to stop voter suppression with new landmark voting rights legislation! |
