If you live in Nevada, we need you to submit a comment in favor of AB321, a bill that would modernize voting throughout the state.

It’s now up to the Senate to get the For the People Act passed. Automatic voter registration, an end to racial and partisan gerrymandering, and ethics reform are all at stake. But it would also restore voting rights to the over two million American citizens with prior felony convictions who are currently barred from the ballot box.

Our federal courts have been systematically hijacked by Republican partisan extremists in the last few decades. Without urgently needed court reform, we won’t be able to fight back against the politicization and radical conservatism in our courts. 

Because of Arizona’s record voter turnout, Republican lawmakers are trying to suppress the vote. And if we don’t do something about it now, they could win.

We’ve explored how the For the People Act would get big money out of our politics, shut down corruption, and close ethics loopholes for government officials. The last tenet of the bill is about expanding voting rights, dismantling racist barriers to voting, and making it easier for all Americans to cast a ballot.

Trump’s behavior while he was in office was excessively, cartoonishly, and so transparently corrupt that we need to make sure that this abuse of power can never happen again. So this week, we’re exploring one way we can start building back trust in our democracy: by curbing corruption with the For the People Act.
