Contact your elected representatives and say no to this provision which has nothing to do with the budget and everything to do with reducing judicial rights.

Vote NO on the SAVE Act. This voter suppression bill would create barriers to voting for people of color, young people, disabled people, transgender people, people with low incomes, tribal voters, rural voters & military families not to mention MILLIONS of married women who have changed their names.

Tell your Senators/Representatives to vote NO on the SAVE bill. It is a massive voter suppression bill targeting women using a married last name which isn't what's on their birth certificate and people without a passport. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The SAVE act requires voters to present a passport or birth certificate every time they vote. Most citizens do not have/can't afford a passport. Women using a married name will need to change their birth certificate to their married name. Tell your Reps NO! www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Restricting the Freedom to Vote
The SAVE Act would be one of the worst voting laws in congressional history.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Mexico never paid for the wall either . . . wall repairs/additions were all paid for by US taxpayers just as these tariffs will be. Walmart and other retailers should've publicized this PRIOR to the election!! Regressive tax that will hurt those most hurting already. fortune.com/2024/11/22/d...

Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will
Trump promised voters tariffs are a panacea for the economy, but Walmart finance chief John David Rainey warned they will be inflationary for customers.
