Black History Month is a reminder that the right to vote was never freely given—it was fought for. Black Americans faced literacy tests, poll taxes, intimidation, and violence simply for demanding a voice in our democracy. The legacy of Black History Month continues today—because attacks on voting rights didn’t disappear. They evolved.

For decades we've been fighting for voting rights. The ways we fight back may look different than they did decades ago, but extremist lawmakers have the same agenda: deciding who gets to participate in democracy. Black History Month calls us to remember how important it is to fight for our freedoms—and the power of the vote.

Voting is one of the most powerful tools Americans have to shape our future. It took generations of organizing, sacrifice, and courage to secure that right—and it remains under threat. Honoring Black history means defending the right to vote for everyone, without barriers or fear.

More than 21 million American citizens don’t have a passport or birth certificate readily available. In some states, over 70% of residents don’t have passports. Under the SAVE Act, eligible voters could be turned away simply because they don’t have the “right” paperwork.

Americans have fought for generations to secure the right to vote. The SAVE Act threatens to roll back that progress by blocking eligible voters from participating in our elections—just months before critical midterms. Lawmakers who support this bill are choosing control over people. 🗳️ Let voters—not politicians—decide our future.

Voting rights and abortion access are deeply connected. When people are blocked from voting, politicians can pass extreme abortion bans that the majority of Americans oppose—without accountability. A healthy democracy protects both access to the ballot and bodily autonomy.

Republicans know they’re losing with voters—so they’re trying to decide WHO gets to vote. When politicians can’t win fair elections, they try to rig the system. 🗳️ Defend our democracy.

The midterms are quickly approaching—and Republicans know they’re out of sync with voters. Republicans are losing on abortion. Republicans are losing on health care. Republicans are losing on affordability. So instead of listening to voters, they’re trying to silence them.

During Black History Month, Republicans are advancing legislation that echoes past voter suppression tactics. Black Americans fought literacy tests. They fought poll taxes. They fought violence at the ballot box. The tactics may look different today—but the goal is the same: Keep certain Americans from voting. Lawmakers backing the SAVE Act are voting against our historic gains, our rights, and our democracy.
