Right now, Republicans are trying to pass an even more aggressive version of the SAVE Act, which would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans.

The requirements would disproportionately affect people who can’t afford a passport, can’t take time off work to visit an elections office, or don’t have a birth certificate that matches their married name.

We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. Contact your representatives and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act: https://act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Welcome to the beginning of our We Have More In Common Than
You Think series. We recognize that in these polarizing times our differences seem to take center stage but it is our belief that we actually have more in common with each other. We are your neighbors, your family, your friends, and your co-workers. Here are some important issues on which research suggests we have more in common. Majorities of both Democrats and Republicans share common ground on several foundational values and specific policy areas, despite the high levels of partisan division.
