Fighting against state and local voting policies that silence American voices and ensuring every vote counts 🗳️ Likes/reposts are not endorsements.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for a democracy where every voice could be heard—because voting is the foundation of civil rights, economic justice, and freedom.

The Voting Rights Act was hard-won because he refused to accept a democracy that excluded Black and Brown voters.

We applaud the state officials who are standing up for voter privacy and refusing to comply with arbitrary demands.

As efforts continue to weaken trust in our elections, it’s critical that we support election officials who are committed to protecting voters and our democracy.

Yesterday, ICE killed a woman in Minneapolis, a community member trying to protect her neighbors. This comes on the heels of lies and gaslighting straight from the White House around Jan. 6 and in the midst of ongoing violence perpetrated by the administration.

5 years ago today, violent insurrectionists attempted to subvert the will of millions of voters and overturn the results of a free and fair election—an attack on the very foundation of our democracy.

In a democracy, leaders are chosen at the ballot box, not through coups.

“Tragically, America is still living in a political era that began on Jan. 6, 2021,” the editorial board writes. “Recognizing as much is necessary to bring this era to an end before it has many more anniversaries.”

Election officials are right to sound the alarm: the recent overhaul of the SAVE database is falsely flagging eligible voters, seizing private voter data with no transparency about how it will be used, and creating new barriers to the ballot.
