The chaotic elections that have taken place during this pandemic have shown a bright spotlight on the many barriers Americans face to casting their ballots. We applaud New York lawmakers for finally eliminating one of the biggest barriers for New Yorkers to participate in the electoral process by passing automatic voter registration.

The 30 new partners will join Indivisible and Stand Up America in preparing to mobilize their members, engage experts and academics to educate the public about the threat Trump poses to the peaceful transition of power, and build a network of millions of Americans ready to take action. The groups joining the coalition will launch national digital ads to encourage Americans to join the network and reach out directly to millions of community members via text, email, and social media.

Since 2019, Stand Up America has driven more than 8,000 constituents to call their lawmakers in the New York legislature pushing for automatic registration. The coordinated campaign includes pushing constituent emails and calls, lobbying efforts in Albany, and other grassroots actions across the state to push lawmakers to support this legislation.
