Our Democracy is Under Attack
Republicans are desperate. They blame recent election losses on fraud, but the reality is that with record voter turnout the voters turned against them.
At the federal level, they want to block ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and are terrified of “HR1” For the People Act.
State lawmakers are working to disenfranchise Democratic voters; passing laws designed to restrict voting in ways that disproportionately affect urban populations and people of color.
Our events will help you learn about the issues and what action you can take.
