Amid a pandemic and the constant bombardment of information and disinformation, we must do whatever it takes to expand our democracy and protect voting rights in the United States.
We need officials who won’t pick and choose whose rights to defend, but people who are elected fairly by their constituents and who will work to protect equal justice and the right to vote for all citizens. Sadly, too many politicians put the wealthy and powerful first, and they will have no problem denying Americans’ voting rights, stripping health care from millions of people and rolling back protections in the LGBTQ+ community.
