Major communities of interest are divided, hundreds of precincts are split, and there are even fewer competitive districts. Express your alarm by Monday, November 15 @ noon.

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.
