Here is the full text of the email I received from the Native Voters Alliance. I think I can expect to get more, but this one is one of the most comprehensive instruction emails I’ve seen – ever.<\/p>\n
We’re here to tell you about a concrete action you can take, in just a couple of minutes, to help protect voting rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n Right now, the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is taking public comments<\/strong>\u00a0on a\u00a0proposal<\/span>\u00a0that would force Americans to show Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC), or specific, costly, hard-to-access documents\u00a0like passports, before registering to vote. An estimated\u00a021 million Americans<\/a>\u00a0could be shut out from the ballot box, particularly communities of color, rural folks, students, and women.<\/p>\n The EAC needs to hear from people like you, now, while they gather input to decide whether or not to adopt this anti-voter proposal. They need to hear from our movement about how damaging this policy would be before they make their decision. It only takes a couple of minutes to make your voice heard!<\/strong><\/p>\n Public comments can be as short as 1-2 sentences.\u00a0You can submit a\u00a0public comment to the Federal Register here<\/a>\u00a0by October 20. Not sure what to say? Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n Tell the EAC not to require Americans to show costly documents before registering to vote – you can help protect democracy by making your voice heard right now.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In the trenches with you. ********************************************************************<\/p>\n Me again – The video I was able to watch live yesterday is now available as a recording.\u00a0 You can watch it here:<\/p>\n https:\/\/joycevance.substack.com\/p\/the-supreme-court-case-that-could<\/p>\n It’s under 40 minutes and seems much shorter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is the full text of the email I received from the Native Voters Alliance.
