How Voting Laws Have Changed Since the Supreme Court Weakened the Voting Rights Act

Ever since the Supreme Court gutted our Voting Rights Act, state politicians have taken advantage and passed laws that deny Black and brown voters their rights. The freshly reintroduced John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act can fix it.

REJECT and RESCIND any calls for an Article V Convention

We the People will not allow unelected, unaccountable delegates to write their agenda into our Constitution. Our state lawmakers must reject any new Article V Convention calls and rescind any existing calls for a Convention.

Tell Congress: REJECT attempts to undermine our Census

Adding a citizenship question to the U.S. Census and excluding millions of U.S. residents from apportionment counts would discourage countless Americans, whether they’re citizens or not, from filling out the Census.

Getting Census counts right is critical to making sure our government works for everyone. Congress must REJECT this dangerous legislation and help protect fair and accurate Census counts.

Sign the Petition: Enact Automatic Voter Registration nationwide

Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) would help ensure that every eligible American has a voice in our democracy, save states money, and make voting rolls more accurate and secure. That’s why AVR should be enacted in each and every state to modernize our outdated voter registration system.

Tell Congress: Hold SCOTUS Accountable

Congress must take bold action now to pass a strong, binding Supreme Court Code of Conduct and overrule the Court’s disastrous ruling on presidential immunity.

These crucial reforms would ensure that nobody – not presidents, nor judges – is above the law.

Tell Congress: No One Is Above the Law

The Supreme Court’s dangerous presidential immunity ruling goes against accountability, the rule of law, and our Constitution.

Congress must pass Rep. Morelle’s constitutional amendment to permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.

Tell Congress: Wealthy donors shouldn’t control our Supreme Court

The Judicial Conference’s weakened disclosure rules are unacceptable and will make it easier for wealthy donors to secretly buy influence over the Supreme Court – at the expense of everyday Americans.

Congress must put a stop to this now by passing the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act and creating the strongest possible Code of Conduct for our highest court.

Fight back against Big Money’s influence: Overturn Citizens United

Corporations, special interest groups, and some of the wealthiest people in the country are spending billions of dollars to influence our elected leaders – essentially using a megaphone to try to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.

That’s why I’m calling on Congress to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision – and also pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act – to fight back against our country’s Big Money problem.
