Today, on Earth Day, we're reminded of the beauty and fragility of our planet. As we celebrate, let's not forget that taking care of the Earth is a daily responsibility. Every action counts, from reducing plastic use to conserving water, and it's up to each of us to make a positive impact. #EarthDay

The "SAVE Act" will make it significantly harder for millions of eligible voters to register. This would especially burden military voters, tribal voters, rural voters, survivors of natural disasters, communities of color, and married women.

The SAVE Act isn't about saving anything — it's about silencing voters. It would create barriers that block millions from registering to vote, especially impacting women, communities of color, and working families.
