Hi John,

Have you ever changed your last name or do you know anyone who has? Then guess what – it might get harder to vote.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) has passed the House but not the Senate. We can still stop this dangerous voter suppression bill by telling senators not to vote for it. 

If this bill becomes law, millions of Americans are at risk of losing their right to vote. The law would require citizens to provide proof of citizenship when registering or re-registering to vote, but state-issued REAL IDs, drivers licenses, military IDs or tribal IDs would not be considered valid proof of citizenship. And people who have changed their names, including married people, would not be able to use their birth certificate to prove their citizenship. 

This law disproportionately affects women (the most common group of people who have changed their name) and poor people, who are less likely to be able to afford the specific forms of identification allowed. 

It's a poll tax disguised as voter protection, and it must be stopped. 

Tell your Senator today to oppose the SAVE Act.
