The history of voting rights is largely one of bipartisan cooperation. We'd like to see the introduction of bipartisan legislation that includes expanding early voting, allowing no-excuse absentee voting, implementing automatic and online voter registration, improving operations of the Election Assistance Commission, improving language access, and ensuring proper voter list maintenance.

Tell Democrats and Republicans to work together on voting rights.

Public schools need your help! Urge your senator to oppose H.3728. This public school censorship bill creates unnecessary risks for social studies teachers, includes unreasonable mandates for schools, and creates a process that encourages unfounded complaints against teachers and schools. If this bill becomes law, it will drive even more qualified candidates away from public education as a career choice.

More than 100 years after some women gained the right to vote, people in the United States are still not constitutionally guaranteed equality on the basis of sex. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) will update the US Constitution to protect the equality of rights under the law regardless of sex.

Tell your representatives they must ensure that the ERA is published.
