How to Fight Against the GOP War on Voting rights

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

As you probably know, Republican politicians are rolling back voter protections and putting draconian limits on the right to vote across the country. We need to act!

Thankfully the The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State is stepping up to help us do so. These are the people who serve as the Chief Election Officers in most states and are our last line of defense for democracy. They’ve started a petition to help stop the voter suppression, gerrymandering, and voter purges being pushed through Republican-controlled legislatures.

SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT HERE

Republicans are rolling back voter protections and putting Jim Crow style limits on the right to vote in Georgia and other states. We can’t let them get away with it! We don’t only need national legislation. We need policies in every state that fight voter suppression, gerrymandering, and corruption!

As Democrats in Congress work to protect the vote with important legislation, Democratic Secretaries of State are already playing a crucial role to fight voter suppression. It doesn’t always make headlines, but this state-level work is every bit as important to safeguard democracy.

Even with Donald Trump out of office, Republican officials are waging a Jim Crow-style assault on our voting rights that targets students, seniors, and people of color. So much more is at stake than any one election. We can’t be caught sleeping—join me in taking action!

SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT HERE

Note: While this article is being paid by The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, I agree with it with the entirety of my being. We all need to fight to save our Democracy if we want to continue to have one.
