Don't panic! Just vote smart. Yes, federal changes to the USPS caused more WA ballots than usual to arrive late in the mail. But if you follow these 3 steps, your vote should be locked in this year. See our FAQ for all the updated guidance: wavotingjustice.org/voter-suppre...

Today, SCOTUS ruled in Louisiana v. Callais to destroy the VRA's protections against the ”denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race." This opens the door again to gerrymandering, drawing districts to deny minority groups representation.

How the anti-voter "SAVE America Act" would affect you. Listen carefully to supporters trying to trick us into making it hard or impossible for millions to register to vote. Jim Crow era legislators used similar arguments to justify literacy tests, poll taxes, and other anti-voter laws.

They have been filibustering the Voter Elimination Act (“SAVE America Act”) for 2 days now. It disenfranchises most married women and others who have changed their names, can’t afford a passport, or don’t have access to a passport or birth certificate.

Seattle! You only have a few weeks left to save the Democracy Voucher Program! Vouchers have transformed local elections - small-donor participation has increased fivefold — especially among renters, young people, and communities of color. Vote YES on #Prop1Seattle by August 5.

Seattle! If you want to keep the Democracy Voucher program going, mark your calendars for the August primary. Let's renew this one-of-a-kind way that Seattle empowers ordinary people to fund candidates of our choice.

The SAVE Act passed the US House and is one step closer to upending voter access. Imagine having to go *in-person* with your documents to update your voter registration. It's not the Washington state way. Our Senators need to hear from us: wavotingjustice.org/take-action/

Unconstitutional! 🙌 This executive order is an attempt disenfranchise millions of married women who have changed their maiden names, and millions more who don't have easy access to passports or in-person voting centers. Good on Judge Kollar Kotelly for putting this on hold 👍

Some much-needed good news from the better Washington (WA state). #WAleg just passed a bill to expand automatic voter registration for people getting their citizenship, coming home from prison, and applying for healthcare.
