ISSUE OVERVIEW
Protecting Voting Access
Voting is the fundamental pillar of our democracy, yet today it faces unprecedented threats. From restrictive legislative updates to systemic barriers that disproportionately impact marginalized communities, the right to cast a ballot is under siege. We are fighting back to ensure that every eligible citizen can participate in our elections without fear, intimidation, or unnecessary hurdles.
Current Threats
Restrictive Voting Laws
New legislative hurdles across multiple states are making it increasingly difficult for millions of eligible citizens to cast their ballots, particularly impacting low-income and minority communities.
Partisan Gerrymandering
Unfair redistricting practices manipulate political boundaries to favor specific parties, diluting the collective power of voters and ensuring pre-determined electoral outcomes.
Limited Polling Access
Reductions in polling locations and drop box availability create geographic barriers, forcing long wait times and preventing many working citizens from exercising their right to vote.
Strategic Advocacy for Every Voter
Establishing Independent Redistricting Commissions to remove partisan bias from map-making processes.
Advocating for the full restoration and expansion of the Voting Rights Act to prevent discriminatory practices.
Expanding automatic voter registration and mail-in ballot access to ensure all eligible citizens can cast their vote safely.
