031826 Tell the Senate: Reject the SAVE Act
The Trump administration is pushing hard to pass the SAVE America Act — a sweeping piece of legislation that would block millions of Americans from voting. We’re running out of time to stop it.
Experts at the Brennan Center for Justice have found that more than 21 million American citizens lack ready access to a passport or birth certificate, and securing them can be difficult and costly for many. By requiring these documents to vote, the SAVE Act would deny millions their voice — and the Senate must reject it.
Here's what's at stake and what demands your voice:
Roughly half of all Americans don't have a passport. Millions more lack access to a paper copy of their birth certificate. The SAVE Act would turn these gaps into a barrier to the ballot box.
The bill disproportionately harms younger voters, voters of color, and the millions of women whose married names don't appear on their birth certificates or passports — forcing them to jump through extra hoops just to register.
Election officials would be exposed to civil and criminal penalties simply for registering an eligible citizen who didn't have every required document in order — punishing honest mistakes, not fraud.
The bill hands voter roll data to the Department of Homeland Security to run through a verification tool the Brennan Center has identified as flawed — and the Trump administration has already allowed DOGE operatives to share state voter data with outside groups seeking to "find evidence of voter fraud."
All available evidence — including from the Trump administration's own findings — confirms that noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. The SAVE Act solves a problem that doesn't exist while creating one that does.
Now, rather than making the case on the merits, President Trump is threatening political retribution against any lawmaker who votes against the bill — calling them "sick, demented, or deranged" and vowing to withhold his endorsement. That kind of intimidation has no place in a democracy.
