Today marks the anniversary of the Selma march that helped deliver the Voting Rights Act and the Supreme Court decision that upheld the law. Sixty years later, the Court has largely reversed this civil rights victory.

Civic engagement groups like ours are working hard to put resources into the hands of voters, but there are ways you can push back:
➡️ Show up for elections
➡️ Share accurate voting information
➡️ Call or write to your representatives
➡️ Send election reminders to your friends and family
From the SAVE Act to state policies to conspiracy theories from politicians: it is clear that voter suppression is on the rise. These efforts make it crystal clear that our voices make a difference in elections.
Judges in California, Michigan, and Oregon have protected voter privacy by ruling that the Department of Justice has no right to obtain states’ complete voter registration lists.

Enough is enough. Legislators in Texas and beyond must put an end to the confusion and pass laws that make it easier for eligible Americans to vote, not harder.

We applaud the voters who took the time to show up and the election workers who worked hard despite the chaos of the day. Our voices matter. When we show up despite the obstacles put in our way, we send a clear message that we will not allow voter suppression laws to obstruct our democracy.

When conspiracy theories and misinformation drive the politicians who make our laws, two groups pay the price: voters and election workers. Unfortunately, we saw this play out in yesterday’s Texas primary.

TEXAS 📣 Voting by mail in the March 3 primary? Send your ballot ASAP! If you wait until Election Day, it may not receive a same-day postmark and could be rejected.
Don't forget to include your ID information with your ballot! More info. 👇
Let’s be clear: this is unconstitutional and a threat to free and fair elections.
If President Trump chooses to go this route, it will likely be blocked in court, but the damage to America’s trust in our elections will be enduring.

Do not fall for this bunk that Trump can use emergency powers to issue an executive order to control elections. The law is clear: The president has no legal authority over elections. He has no emergency powers relating to elections. If he tries this, it will be blocked in court like his other EO.
A pair of policy changes at the U.S. Postal Service have the potential to impact whether some mail-in ballots are counted in upcoming elections, particularly in Texas.
Primaries on March 3 will be the first big test of the impact of the new USPS postmarking policy on mail-in ballots.

The SAVE Act will also disproportionately impact women who have changed or hyphenated their names—which is over 80 percent of women married to men 👇

#OnThisDay in 1870, Hiram Revels became the first Black American Senator in the US—proof of what's possible when every American has full and equal access to the ballot box.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, let's honor his legacy by protecting the right to vote: VoteRiders.org/action
The President used his State of the Union address to press Congress to advance stalled legislation that purports to address his claims of widespread election fraud, which have been repeatedly debunked.

Thankfully, the President is not the one who gets to vote on this legislation. We are calling on the Senate to vote NO on the SAVE America Act.

Instead of calling for free and fair elections, the President used his platform to amplify debunked claims about election fraud and call for extreme voter suppression laws.
Last night during the State of the Union, the President called the SAVE America Act “commonsense legislation.” There is nothing commonsense about making it harder for tens of millions of Americans to vote ❌
As the President said earlier tonight, the government should answer to the people. The SAVE America Act will not save anything. It is an extreme voter suppression bill designed to stop eligible Americans from voting.
#StateOfTheUnion
Those who oppose the SAVE Act and laws like it do not want noncitizens to vote. They simply know the truth: noncitizen voting is extremely rare and has no effect on our elections. We cannot allow conspiracy theories to decide election policy.
#StateOfTheUnion
The President claims that cheating is rampant in our elections. This is manufactured hysteria meant to implement barriers to voting and shut American citizens out of elections.
#StateOfTheUnion
Countless Americans rely on mail-in voting to make their voice heard in our elections. Restricting it would not keep our elections safer. It would make them less representative of the people.

We will put our thoughts in the thread below 👇
As a reminder, the last time Kansas implemented strict proof of citizenship laws, 31,000 eligible Americans were blocked from registering to vote.
This is a solution in search of a problem and we cannot allow conspiracy theories to drive election policy 👇

Must read from AK Sen. Lisa Murkowski on why she’s opposing the SAVE Act. One chief reason being how terrible the bill would be for rural communities and that fact that some Alaskans would have to fly to show their passport or birth certificate to an election official 👇 www.adn.com/opinions/202...
Senator Lisa Murkowski: “Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. As doubt is cast on their legitimacy and public trust erodes, we would do well to avoid partisan reforms that sound good on paper but may work very differently in the real world” 👇
