Dear RJ,
The right to vote is the foundation of our Democracy. Since 2020 voting rights for everyone has been threatened at the state and federal level. It is critical that Congress takes action and passes necessary voting rights legislation that will ensure every eligible American can freely cast their ballot.
Congresswoman Nikema Williams from Georgia will be introducing a series of bills to protect and expand access to the ballot and strengthen our elections infrastructure. The Center for Common Ground is proud to endorse these bills.
Will you take action and tell your member of Congress to support the following bills? Each bill has a call to action. It only takes a minute to send a letter to your representative.
- The Expanding the Vote Act: Will provide local governments with more translations of election materials and ensure everyone, regardless of their English language proficiency, can equitably participate in our democracy. TAKE ACTION!
- People Over Long Lines Act: Declares that waiting periods at polling locations must not exceed 30 minutes and provides resources to curb long lines at the polls. TAKE ACTION!
- Youth Voting Rights Act: Ensures eligible young voters can access the ballot box. TAKE ACTION!
- Sustaining Our Democracy Act: Would provide $20 billion in mandatory federal funding over the next decade to help states and local governments support election administration. TAKE ACTION!
- Unhoused VOTE Act: Establishes in law that no person may be denied the right to vote because they do not have a traditional home. TAKE ACTION!
- Election Mail Act: Will improve the delivery and processing of election mail to make absentee voting more efficient. TAKE ACTION!
- Voters on the Move Registration Act: Will give Americans information on registering to vote when they move. TAKE ACTION!
Thank you for taking action to protect our elections!
