“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” – Fannie Lou Hamer. Today we celebrate Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi sharecropper who lost her job and home for trying to register to vote. She dedicated her life to fighting for voting rights for Black Americans. We honor her by continuing that fight.

GOOD news for voting rights 🎉 The anti-voter citizenship verification question is OFF the ballot this November! P.S. Citizenship is already verified during the voter registration process in all 50 states plus DC. Learn more 👇 bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...
GOOD VOTING NEWS: COURTS RULE ANTI-VOTER BALLOT INITIATIVE WILL NOT MAKE NOVEMBER BALLOT. On Thursday, September 3, both the United States Supreme Court and the Michigan Supreme Court declined to put the Americans for Citizen Voting — Michigan's anti-voter ballot proposal on the November ballot. This is a significant win for voters ahead of midterm elections as attacks on voting access continue in Michigan and across the country.

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

#OnThisDay in 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. Women of color, however, were denied equal voting access until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, we acknowledge the disparities that remain and continue the fight for a true democracy.
