Seattle! You only have a few weeks left to save the Democracy Voucher Program!

Vouchers have transformed local elections - small-donor participation has increased fivefold β€” especially among renters, young people, and communities of color. Vote YES on #Prop1Seattle by August 5.

From @thestranger.com - Seattle created a first-of-its-kind public funding model for city political campaigns. We need it now more than ever.

Vote Yes on Prop 1 before August 5!

Seattle’s democracy vouchers are working. Here’s the proof β€’ Washington State Standard COMMENTARY | The publicly funded campaign finance program has brought tens of thousands more people into the city's political process.

"Little money" has transformed who funds Seattle elections, who runs, and who reps! The popular democracy voucher program will be back on the ballot in the August primary.

Join us for a week of activities! We'll be out spreading the word on renewal and pledging people to vote YES on renewing one of the strongest and most effective investments in our democracy.

Seattle! If you want to keep the Democracy Voucher program going, mark your calendars for the August primary.

Let's renew this one-of-a-kind way that Seattle empowers ordinary people to fund candidates of our choice.

The SAVE Act passed the US House and is one step closer to upending voter access.

Imagine having to go *in-person* with your documents to update your voter registration. It's not the Washington state way.

Our Senators need to hear from us: wavotingjustice.org/take-action/

Judge pauses parts of Trump's sweeping executive order on voting A federal judge has paused a key section of President Trump's executive order that makes sweeping changes to voting and elections.

Unconstitutional! πŸ™Œ

This executive order is an attempt disenfranchise millions of married women who have changed their maiden names, and millions more who don't have easy access to passports or in-person voting centers. Good on Judge Kollar Kotelly for putting this on hold πŸ‘

Some much-needed good news from the better Washington (WA state).

#WAleg just passed a bill to expand automatic voter registration for people getting their citizenship, coming home from prison, and applying for healthcare.

Federal SAVE Act is the latest attempt to erode voting rights | Op-Ed In Washington state, voting rights advocates like me watched nearly all democracy-related bills stall in our Legislature this year.

"If democracy didn’t matter so much, powerful people wouldn’t be fighting so hard to destroy it. While we stay distracted trying to fill the holes in the road ahead of us, they are dismantling the car we are driving."

"For my neighbors who were raised on American exceptionalism, the recent White House attacks on our democracy seem unreal, impossible.

"But my family is from Iran."
