If passed it will prevent anyone who has ever changed their name from registering to vote.
That includes their last name if they were married or divorced. Or their first name for gender or any other reason.
It also bans mail in voting, online voter registration.
It criminalizes helping people register to vote & mandates massive voter purges disproportionately targeting women & people of color - so once their registration has been purged it could be impossible for hundreds millions of americans to get registered again.
It is urgent because- it is the republicans in congress top priority to get this voter suppression bill passed.
If you want to call your local representatives and they’re heavily Republican, it helps to lean into how this will affect married women and military personnel overseas.
It’s an unfortunate truth that if you call saying you’re worried about trans people or immigrants, they will not listen.
Explain how this puts a heavy burden on married women to pay for an expensive passport with their new name, and how military personnel fighting for our country will have their rights stripped from them.
Essentially, roleplay as a Republican constituent and think about what they might care about.
Even if they don’t care about women, they pretend to care about military personnel.
