🚨One Ask: Tell Congress to Vote NO on the SAVE Act
exitosies,
Congress is moving the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act through the House and into broader consideration, and it’s a major threat to voting access in this country.
That might sound simple — until you look at the impact:
Approx. 20 MILLION eligible voters don’t have passports or easy access to documents like birth certificates.
It creates extra hurdles to mail or online registration and forces people to register in person.
Election workers could face criminal penalties for honest errors in registration.
It’s widely projected that far more citizens would be blocked from voting than noncitizens would be prevented from voting.
Not to mention that non-citizen voting isn’t even a real threat to our democracy? Bipartisan data shows that noncitizen votes only account for 0.0001% of votes cast.
For women who changed their names, young people just entering the electorate, older adults without passports, and low-income folks without easy access to documents, this bill isn’t about security — it’s a barrier.
Your right to vote shouldn’t depend on how many folders you own or how close you live to a government office. And it shouldn’t make it harder to vote..?
⭐ ONE URGENT ASK ⭐

———— Here’s your CALL SCRIPT
Hi — my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to urge [Representative/Senator NAME] to oppose the SAVE Act. This bill would make voting harder for millions of Americans — especially women, young people, rural voters, and people without ready access to passports or birth certificates — by requiring burdensome proof of citizenship just to register.
Voting is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution. We already have laws against non-citizen voting. The SAVE Act creates new barriers that will cut people out of the democratic process.
Please oppose the SAVE Act and protect voter access. Thank you.
Option B: 💻 EMAIL
Here’s a Step-by-step (2 minutes):
Find your Senators (Senate)
Open their contact form
Paste the email script (below)
Hit send.
———— EMAIL DRAFT
Subject: Oppose the SAVE Act — Protect Voting Rights
Hi [Representative/Senator LAST NAME],
I’m a constituent in [CITY, ZIP], and I urge you to oppose the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility).
The bill would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, a requirement that millions of eligible voters don’t readily have and that would roll back access to the ballot box. It could also disrupt online and mail registration and impose criminal penalties on election workers for honest administrative errors.
Voting is a constitutional right — not a bureaucratic hurdle. Please vote against this bill and defend the freedom to participate in our democracy.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
The SAVE Act — and related proposals like the SAVE America Act — are being fast-tracked in Congress and could reach the floor for a vote soon. Opposing them before they advance gives your lawmakers less cover to hide behind vague sound bites about “security.”
