Speaking as a historian who has spent years doing genealogical research, women changing their names at marriage makes them hard to find in the historical record. Women, PLEASE stop erasing your identities! No man would consider doing the same for you! KEEP YOUR NAME.
Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.
The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

The House just voted to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—including women who changed their names after marriage. We’ve got a billboard outside the Capitol calling them out, but now it’s up to the Senate.
Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act!
