In stepping up and stepping out we inspire others by embodying the values we wish to see in the world..."

The SAVE ACT, a Republican attack on voting rights, passed in the House. The Senate's 60-vote passage of the SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote and make it hard to cast a ballot.
Please contact your Senators to block passage of this terrible bill.
