As we celebrate 250 years of independence, we are reminded of a core truth: we do not bow. Protecting our freedom to vote can’t wait until November. It starts today, in how we show up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated. 🇺🇸 Read our full letter to America in @nytimes.com.

Voting is individual. Protecting democracy is collective. The more people who show up, the harder it is to take our rights away. @avlaction.bsky.social

The ruling to dismiss charges against the 15 fake electors in Michigan is a blow to our democracy and a dangerous signal. Without consequences, we're inviting history to repeat itself. With 2026 on the horizon, this dismissal is a green light for election sabotage. bit.ly/4m7QUOA

Here are the facts: voting machines undergo extensive testing before each election to guarantee reliability and accuracy, and eliminating mail-in voting would strip away a reliable and safe method that millions rely on. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump says he will ‘lead a movement’ to eliminate mail-in voting
The Constitution gives states the authority to regulate how elections are run, making it unlikely Trump can change voting rules unilaterally.

Arizona lawmakers pushed bill after bill to make voting harder, especially for the communities they want silenced. Only the governor's veto pen kept them from becoming law. Read an op-ed from AVL Action AZ's state director Alex Gulotta on how we fight fascism and protect voters⤵️ bit.ly/4mbzZM1

🚨 AVL Action’s Ben Gardner breaks down why two Michigan ballot proposals would block eligible voters, burden election officials, and roll back progress. This isn’t about security—it’s voter suppression. 📖 Read for more about why these proposals must be rejected: www.bridgemi.com/guest-commen...

#OnThisDay in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders. This bill was passed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin and more in the U.S. — but the fight for true equality continues.

This isn't what Arizona voters want. A recent poll found that 65% of voters, across parties, support keeping the current deadline. This bill directly goes against the will of the people.

The bill eliminates ALL polling places as ballot drop-off locations and allows only "designated voting locations", with no guarantee that every community will have one. Some voters could face 200+ mile round-trips just to drop off a ballot.

📭SB 1001 cuts 3 days off the early ballot return window. This means fewer days for voters to return their ballots, which will disproportionately impact voters in rural and Tribal communities, where mail already takes much longer to arrive.

If you thought it couldn't get worse, it does. This bill directly targets Ohio's citizen-led ballot initiative process by placing petition committee members and petition circulators in legal jeopardy. And it creates new ways for bad actors to invalidate petitions and signatures.

This bill bans ALL drop boxes, even the ones outside of your county's Board of Elections. This would create unnecessarily long lines for ballot returns and ignore voters who need to return ballots at odd hours due to work, school, or child care.

This bill would require "documentary proof of citizenship" that would make voter registration harder: ❌Many Ohioans would only be able to register to vote in person ❌Less people would be able to access Ohio's online voter reg system ❌Hosting voter reg drives would be harder

12 years ago today, the Supreme Court gutted the heart of the Voting Rights Act. What's followed has been racist voter ID laws, voter roll purges, cuts to early voting, and a widening racial turnout gap. We launched our organization because of this. And we're not backing down.

In 2020, 10 fake electors in WI signed documents falsely claiming Trump won the state. It was a strategic plot to overturn the will of voters, and nearly 5 years later, NONE of them have been charged. This is more than unfinished business, it's a threat to our democracy.
