Less than an hour after its passage by the Arizona State Senate, Governor @DougDucey rushed to sign SB 1485, a devastating anti-voter bill which could remove over 125,000 voters--more than 30,000 of whom are Latino--from Arizona’s highly popular Permanent Early Voting List. (1/6)

The newly-signed #SB1485 is one of over 400 proposed anti-voter bills across the country stemming from an election cycle with historical turnout of Black, brown, and young voters. (2/6)

These actions are a direct and wide-ranging assault on democracy that spans across 48 states from Arizona to New Hampshire, and from Michigan to Texas to Georgia, and demands a response from all stakeholders in America. Silence cannot be an option. (3/6)

This coordinated, national attack on Americans’ freedom to vote demands that Congress urgently respond with federal action to protect voting rights for all eligible voters. Congress must pass both #HR1, the #ForThePeopleAct, as well as the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct. (4/6)

It is imperative swift federal action be taken to counteract GOP efforts to undermine our democracy. New laws like #SB1485 in Arizona, #SB202 in Georgia, #SB90 in Florida and many others present a clear danger to voters and are blatant attempts to silence their voices. (5/6)

Now is the time for all, from voters to business leaders, to speak out and take action to defend voting rights and our democracy. Get involved: ➡️ StopJimcrow2.com (6/6)
