Take Action: Protect Our Freedom to Vote
2/18/26
The US House passage of the SAVE America Act is a direct attack on the freedom to vote. This bill is not about election security. It is about restricting access to the ballot and deciding who gets to participate in our democracy.
Millions of eligible voters could be blocked from casting a ballot under the SAVE America Act’s restrictive documentary proof of citizenship requirements. This includes voters who are already properly registered and previously provided proof of citizenship but could still be turned away at the polls if they do not bring a passport or other qualifying document with them on Election Day.
Here's what you can do: Call US Senate leadership and urge them to reject the SAVE America Act and any legislation that makes it harder for people to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Congressional leaders must take your calls even if you are not in their districts.
