Voting Rights Resources
Voter suppression laws that disproportionately impact people based on their race or ethnicity, gender, age, or income are developing all over the country at an alarming pace. If we don’t fight back, more and more Americans will become disenfranchised and lose their voice in our democracy.
These “Resource Groups” may assist voters to fight back against proposals across the country that make it harder to exercise their constitutional right to cast a ballot. Whether it’s extreme identification requirements, questionable purges of voters from the rolls, voter intimidation, new and extreme voter registration processes, or anything that makes voting harder, they are there to lead the fight against it.
