8.28 March on the Capitol for Voting Rights and Democracy

The proposed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R.22/S.128) is harmful to our democracy and a threat to the freedom to vote for all Americans. While the SAVE Act has been characterized as a narrow bill mandating proof of citizenship for voter registration, its extreme documentation requirements would actually implement one of the harshest voter suppression laws nationwide. This bill would also upend mail and online voter registration systems, mandate error-ridden voter purges, and could subject election workers to harsh criminal penalties simply for doing their job. It would deny millions of eligible voters access to the ballot, eliminate mail voter registration and upend online registration, mandate harmful voter purges, replicate proven failures, and undermine nonpartisan election workers. The SAVE Act would disenfranchise Americans of all ages, but voters of color, younger voters, veterans, underserved populations, and women would suffer disproportionately to prove their eligibility to vote and participate in democracy.
Urge every member of Congress to vote against this legislation. Join us at the Lansing Center, Aug. 28, at 5:30 p.m. for the 8.28 March on the Capitol for Voting Rights and Democracy. This event is free and open to the public.
