Today’s Action: Sign up to attend a March On For Voting Rights event in your area TOMORROW!
In the past eight months, Republicans have introduced 389 voter suppression bills across 48 states. These laws specifically target measures that increase turnout, like mail-in voting and expanded early voting hours. Republicans are even criminalizing baseline decency — handing out water to citizens waiting in long voting lines is actually illegal in some parts of the country now.
Republicans are systematically paving the way to rig future elections by making it harder and harder for Democrats to legally vote, and communities across America need meaningful protection at the federal level immediately. That’s why OD Action is cosponsoring March On For Voting Rights in major cities around the country TOMORROW!
Sign up to attend a March On For Voting Rights event in your area tomorrow! Can’t make it? Share the event online using the hashtag #VotingRightsMarch!
In the fight for our democracy, we need all hands on deck. We’ve already seen incredible acts of determination, from legislators like the Texas House Democrats, who risked arrest to block heinous voter suppression bills in the Lone Star State, to Ohio’s Joyce Beatty, the Democratic congresswoman who organized an all-Black female protest at the Capitol and was subsequently arrested. Together, we have so much power. Use that power and join our leaders in the struggle for voting rights this weekend!
Make your voice loud and clear by signing up for a March On For Voting Rights event in your area tomorrow! If you can’t make it, share the event online using the hashtag #VotingRightsMarch!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition demanding Congress pass an eviction moratorium that protects every American, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
