URGENT: Fight Voter Suppression with the ACLU

The ACLU is hard at work fighting back against these reprehensible and undemocratic schemes to thwart the rights of voters.

Friend – When Donald Trump and other politicians attempt to block millions of people from voting, they threaten our democracy. When they do it during a raging pandemic, they risk people's lives. And, when they target Black voters and other voters of color with no-holds-barred voter suppression tactics during a national reckoning on racial injustice, they instigate a culture of fear, hate, and bigotry. The ACLU is hard at work fighting back against these reprehensible and undemocratic schemes to thwart the rights of voters. That's why we need your help in these last few weeks as we ramp up our efforts to meet the increase in voter suppression. Will you commit to fighting voter suppression with us? Sign our petition today. Since the pandemic began, the ACLU has filed over 20 voting rights cases across the country, most recently challenging Alaska's witness requirement for absentee ballots and taking on the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania, where they have filed suit to prevent the state from setting up drop boxes for the delivery of absentee ballots. And, as Election Day approaches, our attorneys and advocates are carrying out the ACLU's sweeping three-pronged fight against voter suppression that's centered on litigation, education, and mobilization. For example: In Florida, we're pushing local election officials to ensure equity and accessibility in voting – including increasing early voting polling locations and early voting time. In Georgia, we're pressing local election boards in key counties to ensure in-person polling locations are open, staffed, and safe. We're also setting up a rapid response program to quickly identify and remedy poll closures, early voting restrictions, and other suppression strategies. Sign our petition right now and together we'll advance this urgent work to secure access to the ballot between now and Election Day. Thank you for taking action, Anthony D.
