During the 2020 election, we voted in record numbers and elected a Democratic trifecta that has already delivered for millions of people. Republicans saw our power and immediately responded by introducing and passing laws to suppress key parts of the Democratic coalition — Black, Indigenous, Latinx, new American, young, low-income, and rural. Meanwhile, big business and billionaires are able to spend unlimited amounts of money to buy our elections. Federal legislation like the For the People Act (HR 1), the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (HR 4) and D.C. Statehood would guarantee the right to vote, reduce barriers erected to silence our voices and ensure equal voice in the decisions that impact our lives, and prevent billionaires from buying our elections.
