People Power United is a reader-supported publication. ​If you love the work we do and want to support, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We need your voice to help stop the dangerous SAVE Act — a bill that threatens to block millions of eligible Americans from registering and voting.This harmful legislation would force voters to present strict proof of citizenship, like a passport or birth certificate, just to register or update their voter information.That means millions of Americans — especially working-class families, seniors, women who’ve changed their names, and those who’ve lost documents in natural disasters — could be denied their fundamental right to vote.Here’s how you can help:Email your Member of Congress today and urge them to vote NO on the SAVE Act. It only takes a few minutes to protect democracy and defend the right to vote.Let’s be clear: The SAVE Act isn’t about election security — it’s about voter suppression. It puts up needless roadblocks that silence voices and weaken our democracy.Our democracy works best when everyone can participate.Raise your voice today to help protect voting rights for all.Click here to send a message to your member of Congress and tell them to VOTE NO on the SAVE ACT.

Every member of Congress must speak out against his attempts to undermine our courts and bypass the legal system and speak out against threats to our communities. It is critical to begin impeachment hearings immediately to investigate potential violations of the law, expose corruption, and address threats to national security.
