Oppose the SAVE Act and Protect Voting Access
What’s Happening:
The SAVE Act would mandate documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections, potentially blocking millions of eligible voters from participating.
Why This Matters in Michigan:
Voting is a fundamental right. Restrictions from this act could disproportionately impact seniors, young voters, naturalized citizens, and women who've changed names.
Take Action Now:
Tell your Michigan senators to reject the SAVE Act and protect accessible voting.
Support organizations fighting voter suppression and advocating for fair elections.

Why These Reps?
The SAVE Act is a federal bill, so only members of Congress can vote on it. Rep. Stevens and Senators Slotkin and Peters are your representatives in Washington, and they need to hear directly from constituents urging them to vote no.

Subject: Please Oppose the SAVE Act and Protect Voting Access
Dear Senator [Last Name],
As your constituent, I’m urging you to vote against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
This bill poses a serious threat to voting access across the country. Many eligible voters do not have immediate access to citizenship documents, and this law could lead to widespread disenfranchisement, particularly for women, seniors, naturalized citizens, and young people.
The SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers to the ballot box and is a solution in search of a problem. I ask you to defend our freedom to vote by opposing this bill and speaking out against efforts to suppress participation.
Thank you for protecting democracy and ensuring that every eligible American can make their voice heard.
Sincerely,

Subject: Vote NO on the SAVE Act and Protect Voting Rights
Dear Senator [Last Name],
I’m writing as your constituent to strongly oppose the SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
This bill risks disenfranchising millions of eligible voters, particularly women who have changed names through marriage, naturalized citizens, seniors, and others who may lack access to the exact documents required. It does not enhance security, it only creates new barriers to participation.
Please vote NO on this legislation and protect the right to vote for all eligible Americans. Our democracy depends on it.
Thank you for your service and commitment to accessible elections.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
