We have previously shared about the SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act and the concerns that it will limit registration and voting for disabled folks and other citizens. Time is critical now.

Quote from National Coalition on Accessible Voting: Federal laws require every part of the voting process to be accessible for disabled voters, from registering to vote to casting a ballot. The new barriers in these bills – limiting vote by mail, criminalizing some voter assistance, and adding burdensome voter registration practices – undermine accessibility, disenfranchise eligible voters, and weaken the foundation of our democracy." Text encourages contacting Congress against SAVE Act.
The SAVE America Act was passed by the House yesterday. Next it will go to the Senate. Call or email your senator now if able. The National Coalition on Accessible Voting statement, plain language summary, & link to action is here: https://ncavote.org/resource/nosaveact/

A vote is set to occur the week of February 11th. The House could vote as soon as today.
We know accessible voting is a critical issue for our community. Thank you to the NCAV for their work!

The disability vote has power, and it matters in every election.
This is a voting bloc that cannot be ignored. When people with disabilities are included and empowered to vote, our democracy is stronger.

Not only does this stand to disenfranchise women, this bill will impact #disabled voters. Many disabled folks face barriers to getting the addt’l documents needed including financial, transportation and more. #disability #DisabilityVote
