Dear Member of Congress:
I urge you to vote NO on the “SAVE America” Act and any effort to attach it to other legislation.
Congress recently took an important bipartisan step toward addressing America's housing affordability crisis. Families struggling with rising rents, aspiring first-time homebuyers, and seniors on fixed incomes need lawmakers to keep working together on solutions that lower costs and expand housing opportunities.
At the same time, Congress should reject legislation that would make it harder for eligible Americans to vote. More than 21 million U.S. citizens do not have ready access to the documents required under the “SAVE America” Act, and roughly half of Americans do not have a passport. The burden would fall especially hard on married women whose legal names may not match their birth certificates, as well as seniors, rural voters, military families, working parents, and low-income Americans.
Moms across the country are asking Congress to reject the SAVE America Act wherever it appears – whether as standalone legislation, included in the National Defense Authorization Act, attached to a reconciliation package, or added to any other must-pass bill.
The SAVE America Act would create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and participation while threatening voting methods that millions of Americans rely on, including voting by mail. For many seniors, military families, rural voters, people with disabilities, and working parents, these options are essential to participating in our democracy.
Families deserve affordable housing and the freedom to vote.
Please vote NO on the SAVE America Act – in any form.
Sincerely,
