Rapid Response Action: Fight the Voter Suppressing SAVE Act!
House Resolution 22, the SAVE Act, is a voter-suppression effort aimed squarely at reducing access to the vote. According to the Brennan Center, it would do away with more accessible methods of registration and ballot request, restrict absentee voting (both domestically and abroad) and place undue burden on local election officials. The only thing it accomplishes is taking away the right to vote from tens of millions of Americans. For more details, check out this DA News post.
So what can you do about it? H.R 22 comes to the floor of the House on Monday, Feb. 24. We can make a concerted effort to contact our Representatives in the House and let them know that we expect them to vote against this ill-conceived bill.
We’ll use the script that DA's excellent Comms team has composed and go over the basics for communicating to your Rep. why they need to vote against this. If you've never contacted your Reps, there's no better time to start!
Want some support while contacting your Reps? Stop by and we'll cheer you on! If you need some guidance, come ask your questions. The most important piece of info for you to have on hand is your voting address in the US, that determines who you need to call and identifies you as a constituent. This event will operate on an 'office hours' model, offering one-on-one support to get the job done. And then, with your new-found know-how, reach out to family and friends in the States and abroad and urge them to do the same thing. This is an attempt to silence the electorate, so now is the time for the electorate to get loud.
