An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our elections!

32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to protect the right to vote by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy, and this bill is essential to ensuring that every American has equal access to the ballot box. It is also vital that Congress protect mail-in voting, especially for seniors, people with disabilities, and others who are housebound. For these voters, mail-in ballots are not a convenience—they are often the only way they can participate in our democracy. To restrict them would be to silence millions of voices. Let’s be clear: voter fraud in the United States is virtually nonexistent. Numerous studies, audits, and bipartisan reviews have confirmed this again and again. The real threat to our democracy is not fraud, but deliberate attempts to make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. Do not be swayed by Donald Trump’s lies or the misinformation campaign that seeks to undermine confidence in our elections. Protecting the right to vote is not a partisan issue—it is an American issue. Congress must stand firm, defend our democracy, and ensure that every citizen can freely and fairly cast their ballot. Passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and safeguarding mail-in ballots are essential steps in that fight. The American people are counting on you.
