WE INVITE ALL AMERICANS TO JOIN
THE FIGHT AGAINST VOTER SUPPRESSION
1
REGISTER AND VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION
The best way to counter massive amounts of outside money influencing election outcomes is not to take any election for granted -- especially state and local elections. So register. Then vote.
2
SUPPORT CITIZEN-LED INITIATIVES
Ones that expand voting rights and fight back against lawmakers’ attempts to create gerrymandered districts. In 2018, citizen-led initiatives restored the right to vote for felons in Florida and put a stop to gerrymandering in Michigan and three other states.

Get Information
Find out from your local Board of Elections what their parameters are for cleaning up the voter rolls, (i.e., are they just removing people who have passed away, or purging people who haven’t voted in the last few elections).
4
Speak up when people talk about rampant voter fraud.
While some politicians have effectively pushed the lie that voter fraud endangers the integrity of our elections, the truth is that the percentage of votes found to be fraudulent comes out to .00002% (or 40 votes out of 197 million cast).
5
Do your homework
Do your homework before you vote for state or local judges. These are the people who will ultimately make decisions about who can vote, so find out where they stand on protecting voter rights. And let your US Senators know how you feel about federal judge nominees.
6
Say Something
If you witness or experience voter intimidation when you go to vote, say something. Call the Election Protection Hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE, or the Latino Protect the Vote Hotline: 888-VE-Y-VOTA. And make sure to contact your Secretary of State and local, state, or federal representatives if you feel your access to the ballot is being impinged.

Donate and Volunteer
Give donations and volunteer for political candidates at the state and Congressional level who support voting rights and want to strengthen the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Or donate to these groups that are on the frontlines of the voting rights fight:
