.@USCCRgov has allowed election denier Cleta Mitchell's appointment to the @EACgov's Board of Advisors to expire, seemingly yielding to pressure from activists like @FSFP not to reappoint Mitchell to one of the two USCCR seats on the federal election agency's advisory panel.

BREAKING: We won! Election denier, architect of voter suppression + Trump lawyer who conspired to try to overturn the 2020 election is off the EAC's Board of Advisors -- and she never should have been there in the first place. People power +public pressure works. @FSFP @GenVoteUS

It's too hard to do alone. You have to find your people - to grieve with, and to act.
If you're an American Jew who believes in the both/and, we're having a mass call on Thursday. To process, understand how we get here, and how to get to somewhere better: innmvmt.org/national-call
ALT How did we get here? Where do we go? An emergency IfNotNow call. Gather with other American Jews to hold space for our grief during this unprecedented time. We’ll unpack the history of apartheid that led to this moment and channel our grief towards a future where all Palestinians, Israelis, and Jews are safe. Thursday, October 12. 8pm Eastern. innmvt.org/national-call

It’s official: @GovKathyHochul has signed the New York Early Mail Voter Act 🎉
With this law, any voter who needs or simply prefers to vote by mail will have that opportunity.
This is a huge win for our freedom to vote and democracy in New York.
ALT New York Governor Kathy Hochul signs ten new laws that protect voting rights.

BIG VICTORY for the plaintiffs in Moore v. Harper, the case that could have upended voting rights and elections. There is NO "independent state legislature" doctrine. It is not a thing. This is a huge deal. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/supremecourt.gov/opinions/22…

Breaking: The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in our #MooreVHarper case, protecting state courts’ power to hold lawmakers accountable to state laws when it comes to our elections.
This ruling is a very big deal for the survival of our democracy.

Young people are voting at record numbers AND we are voting by a MASSIVE proportion for progressives. Get ready for a wave of youth voter suppression by Republican state legislatures like never seen before. We’ll need an army of lawyers like @YaelBromberg to fight it.
Republicans have a huge problem. Gen Z played a pivotal role in securing the victory for progressive judge Janet Protasiewicz in Wisconsin's election. This has to give Democrats high hopes for 2024. This empowering generation of young adults is unapologetically vocal about their beliefs and stands firm for what they value.
Advocating for women's rights, advocating for sensible gun control, and embracing diversity in terms of race, sexual identity, orientation, and religion are key aspects of their worldview. Their inclusive mindset is what sets them apart.
This is precisely why some Republicans are attempting to regulate the literature they can access, the music they can enjoy, and the education they receive. They are aware that Gen Z's ideology and their political agenda simply don't mix.
The Generation Z voting base will only grow larger and larger every election cycle, and this is why Democrats have a lot to be excited for in 2024.

Young voters are a powerful voting block, rather than listening to them, the GOP is making it harder for them to vote across the country: “Republicans Face Setbacks in Push to Tighten Voting Laws on College Campuses - The New York Times nytimes.com/2023/03/29/us/po…

Hamilton Brooks is an activist who works with @GenVoteUS, an advocacy movement that empowers young people to use their right to vote to effect change. Watch as he reflects on Mary Church Terrell and how she continues to inspire the next generation of voting activists.

UPDATE: Election deniers who still refuse to concede include candidates in key secretary of state races:
❌Mark Finchem in Arizona
❌Kristina Karamo in Michigan
❌Jim Marchant in Nevada
The voters have spoken — they don't want Big Lie-advocates as their chief elections officers.

Georgia’s voter suppression law #SB202 effectively removed the ability of new individuals to register to vote between the general election and the runoff election.
In 2020, thousands of young people turned 18 and were able to register to vote during that time period.
