The Trump DOJ is once again sending threatening letters to election officials ‼️ As our executive director told The Boston Globe, the most recent letter sent to RI Secretary of State Gregg Amore is "nothing more than a thinly veiled threat." Read more: www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/10/m...

BREAKING: In the Louisiana v Callais decision, the United States Supreme Court just significantly weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which protected against racial gerrymandering. The ball is in the RI General Assembly's court to pass the @rhodeislandvra.bsky.social this session.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed an even worse version of the anti-voter SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill masquerading as election security. Let’s be clear: if any version of the SAVE Act becomes law, millions of Americans will be disenfranchised.
