New USPS rules ordered by Trump impose illegal restrictions on mail-in voting. Just a little over 2 months from the November elections, the rules will sow chaos and disenfranchise millions of voters. We’re fighting for free and fair elections for all. Our statement: bit.ly/4y33G7v

The Supreme Court just gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana v. Callais. Black voters and communities of color are left with rights on paper and virtually no effective remedy.

Today’s executive order targeting mail-in voting is an unlawful overreach that could disenfranchise voters and undermine our democracy. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud — just a dangerous effort to justify new barriers to the ballot. Read the full statement: tinyurl.com/y3jfy72k

We didn’t just fight back in 2025. We fought forward. When voting rights were attacked. When DEI was falsely branded “illegal.” When digital platforms amplified discrimination. We showed up. 🧵 Here’s what that looked like →

The Lawyers’ Committee strongly opposes the SAVE America Act. This unnecessary bill would impose new proof-of-citizenship requirements and disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, disproportionately harming Black communities and other voters of color.
