Under the voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, registering & staying registered to vote would be much harder for millions of eligible citizens.
It passed the House this morning and is going to the Senate next. We need to tell our Senators to STOP it!

The SAVE ACT is a voter suppression bill, pure and simple. It does nothing to safeguard our elections.

Over 21 MILLION US citizens don't have easy access to the documents they would need to register and vote under the SAVE Act.

About 69 million women voters would be affected by this. But it’s not just about women. An analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice found about 12 million voters in the 2020 election would not be able to present the required documents. This is a massive voter suppression campaign.
