Save the Vote!

Every state across the country has its own voting laws – and, in almost every state, some sort of legislation has passed that changes the way elections take place.

Some states have new laws aimed at helping more people vote, while in other states, election laws have changed in ways that might make voting more difficult. It’s important that your elected officials know you are paying attention and care about this issue. Together, we can Save The Vote!

HOW VOTING LAWS IMPACT YOUR COMMUNITY

LGBTQIA+ and Voting Rights

You know all the things that make voting hard? Well if you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you probably know it firsthand: higher rates of incarceration, youth homelessness, difficulty getting proper ID, systemic discrimination — all these things hit home. That’s why we need to speak out.

Racism, Discrimination and Voting Rights

Voter ID laws “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.” That’s not us saying so — those words come from a Federal court. We all know election laws have targeted or disproportionately impacted non-white voters for more than two centuries.

Criminal Justice and Voting Rights

If you or anyone you care about has been convicted of a felony, you probably know that voting rights are one of the many freedoms that can be lost. But state laws about this are changing fast. That’s why it’s so important that elected officials hear from all of us.

Jobs, The Economy and Voting Rights

For some, taking time off to vote can come at too high a cost—no one should have to risk their job to vote. Did you know that voting access is directly tied to a better economy—including better jobs and working conditions?
