In the aftermath of an election where a massive fusion movement of poor and low-wealth people determined the outcome, more than 250 voter suppression bills have already been introduced in 43 states. In Alabama, there is a proposed bill that people must prove their citizenship to qualify to vote. In Florida, where poor and low-wealth people voted for a higher minimum wage, there has been an attempt to ban ballot drop boxes and put severe restrictions on vote by mail.
When poor people are blocked from participating in the democratic process, policies that hurt us get passed. We stand against voter suppression and FOR a moral agenda. We must fight back!
On Moral Monday, we are holding in-person socially distant demand deliveries of our 14 Policy Priorities to Heal the Nation at the capitol or legislative buildings in 30 states before our national livestream and call-in action at 3pm ET / 12pm PT.
The fight against voter suppression has been a battle for a long time, and it is not one we can stop waging. We must continue to fight for the democracy we know is possible, and for a robust moral agenda that will lift up all of our people.
