In 2021, 52 restrictive voter laws were passed in various states across the country, limiting options to vote and undermining local elections officials’ ability to mind elections. Georgia’s law, SB 202, criminalized handing out water to voters standing in long lines. Texas’ SB.1 would have election officials face prosecution for regulating poll watchers’ inappropriate behavior in the polling place.

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would make illegal voting rules that discriminate on the basis of race, language, or ethnicity and empower voters’ to challenge discriminatory laws.

The Freedom to Vote Act would solidify comprehensive voter protections, including a minimum of 15 days for early voting, mail-in ballots, and making Election Day a national holiday.

  • Overturn Citizens United.
  • End the Filibuster and Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
  • End racist voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering.
  • Abolish super PACs and replace corporate funding with publicly funded elections that amplify small-doner donations.
