Tell Congress to Vote NO on the SAVE Act

SINK THE SAVE ACT

The SAVE Act has once again reared its head in Congress. 

SAVE Act supporters, aka those who want to suppress votes, will lie and tell you that the SAVE Act is "just a voter ID bill" or that it's to "stop voter fraud." Don't believe the hype. Despite the name, the SAVE Act is nothing more than voter suppression disguised as voter protection.  

Their real goal is to stop people from voting. This isn't about making elections safer — it's about politicians picking their voters. They're targeting our communities, trying to game the system to hold onto power ahead of the midterm elections in November. 

We've got to Sink the SAVE Act before it's too late. 

If passed, the SAVE Act would hurt the Black Community's ability to vote.

• This law could block married women from voting because her driver's license has her married name, but her voter registration has her maiden name.
• It could turn away grandma or pop who doesn't have a current ID because they no longer drive.
• A college student whose campus address doesn't match their ID could be stopped from voting.
• The SAVE Act would demand proof of citizenship before voting but over 9% of voting age Americans (21.3 million people) cannot readily access citizenship documents. Eleven percent or 8.4 million people of color can't access those documents either.
• It creates more red tape and confusion, leading to longer lines and people being wrongly turned away at the polls — especially in Black and Brown neighborhoods.

WHY THIS MATTERS 

When they silence our vote, they silence our demands for better hospitals, good-paying jobs, and fair policing. This is how they stop progress.

They are using fear and division around immigration and false claims of voter fraud to pass a law that will ultimately strip power from all of us, particularly naturalized citizens, Black people and other communities of color.

We should be making voting more accessible, not inventing new hoops for people to jump through. Our focus should be on the issues that matter, like healthcare and economic security.

This is why we must all vote in November, to stop our elections from being rigged and to keep this president and his administration accountable.
