Write or call both Senator Blumenthal and Senator Murphy, thank them for their efforts so far, and tell them: "It doesn’t matter if we have bridges and budgets if our democracy fails: keep the Senate focused on the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act!"

The fight for voting rights has been a long and enduring battle. And the newly released Freedom to Vote Act is a transformative voting rights bill that will protect and expand the right to vote, decrease the influence of money in politics and curb partisan gerrymandering. This legislation will put power back into the hands of American voters by prioritizing voting access and participation, while also modernizing future elections to ensure a system that everyone can trust. Contact your Representative TODAY and tell them to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.

Long-awaited Redistricting has begun and the districts created this year will be in place for ten years. LWVCT is urging our members to speak out to stress the importance of Fair Maps. Attend one of the two upcoming public hearings!

Contact House Leadership and your own State Rep NOW and urge them to pass SB 5. This bill would make our elections more accessible, safe, and secure and build confidence in elections and government.
