John, the right to vote is a cornerstone in our democracy.
Yet House Republicans have passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act – a bill that would throw up new barriers to voting, especially for women, seniors, young people and communities of color.
Don’t be fooled by the name, John. If the GOP-held Senate passes the SAVE Act, it will stop millions of Americans from registering to vote by requiring documents many people simply don’t have.
That’s why we’re calling on the grassroots to voice your opposition to anti-democracy policies like the SAVE Act before it’s too late.
We are counting on 25,000 grassroots supporters to add their name to our petition SUPPORTING voting rights and OPPOSING voter suppression. Will you be one of them? Sign on today:
Here’s what we know:
- Over 21 million eligible voters lack the required proof of citizenship under this bill – meaning they could be blocked from voting outright.
- Almost 70 million women could face extra hurdles because their birth certificates don’t reflect their legal names after marriage.
- More than 150 million Americans, especially in rural communities, don't have a passport and would not be able to register to vote.
The SAVE Act is a targeted attempt to silence women, seniors, people of color and working-class Americans by making voting virtually inaccessible.
Why? Because Republicans fear the power of a diverse electorate making their voices heard.
We need to act fast to show that we the people REJECT policies that will take away our voting rights. Please be one of the 25,000 supporters we need to sign on before midnight:
Thank you for standing strong,
Team Gillibrand
