California's Prop. 39 is NOT "common sense" — it would be a redundant barrier that could block millions of eligible Californians from voting.🚨 In the @latimes.com, our founder, Kathleen Unger, explains why this measure would make voting unnecessarily hard. 👇

Letters to the Editor: Our elections are already secure. Prop. 39 would just be a barrier to voting

GOOD VOTING NEWS: COURTS RULE ANTI-VOTER BALLOT INITIATIVE WILL NOT MAKE NOVEMBER BALLOT.

Workers are the backbone of our democracy, but voter ID laws block them from making their voices heard at the ballot box. This #LaborDay, join us in standing up for working Americans and their freedom to vote at VoteRiders.org/Action 🛠️
Voter ID laws are anti-worker. In many states, a driver's license costs, on average, a minimum of $35 — that's FOUR hours of work on minimum wage in those same states. 34.5 MILLION Ameriacns don't have a current state-issued ID because it can be expensive, time-consuming, and confusing to get one. No one should have to sacrifice their livelihood to vote. We help voters get ID documents for FREE. Call or text 866-432-8683 to get started. Sources: Movement Advancement Project; VoteRiders
