| It's a troubling trend, Pamela. Last year saw a marked increase in anti-voter legislation at the state level, according to a recent report from the Voting Rights Lab — including "the most significant rollback" of voting by mail since 2021. And it's no surprise. Donald Trump is demanding action from his MAGA allies to place more obstacles between certain groups of voters and the ballot box, including by restricting access to voting by mail. He continues to spread false claims that mail ballots are fraudulent. But our movement is fighting back, working with partners in Georgia and around the country to track and prevent legislation that hinders the freedom to vote. And this year, pro-democracy advocates are working in up to about half a dozen Southern states to enact new affirmative protections with state Voting Rights Acts. With a new legislative session underway in Georgia, and with anti-voter legislation on the rise nationally, we need to keep pushing back to ensure equal access to the ballot box. Your financial support right now could help stop more attempts at legislating voter suppression, and you can help grow our movement to pass new protections for the freedom to vote.

As part of a pro-voting rights coalition, we monitored harmful legislation, sounded the alarm, drove public engagement and advocacy campaigns, and helped make sure that those bills did not become law. Free and fair elections are on the line — and by ensuring access to methods like voting by mail, we can help make sure more people are able to make their voices heard. Millions of Americans rely on voting by mail. It is essential for seniors, military families, disabled voters, and rural communities. But Trump and his enablers are trying to restrict voting by mail as part of a coordinated assault on democracy — a conscious effort to block Americans from holding them accountable in free and fair elections. We have to fight back to stop the Trump Regime from sliding our country further toward authoritarian control, which means we must do everything we can to promote voting rights in 2026 and beyond. Make a donation today to help make sure the will of the people is heard. In solidarity, The Fair Fight Action Team |
