Tell the Senate: Reject the SAVE Act Voter Suppression Bill

The House just passed the SAVE Act — a bill that would require voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. Now it’s headed to the Senate, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Supporters claim the bill is about election security, but civil rights groups warn it’s actually a voter suppression measure that could disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans — especially naturalized citizens, students, veterans, low-income voters, and people without ready access to physical citizenship documentation.

Under current federal law, it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. States already verify citizenship during registration. The SAVE Act would go far beyond that, creating bureaucratic hurdles that disproportionately impact those already on the margins of our democracy.

And the impact doesn’t stop there.

According to The 19th, this bill could be particularly harmful to women and trans people, who are more likely to face challenges accessing official documentation due to name changes, housing insecurity, or inconsistent identification records. These are the same voters whose rights are already under attack — especially when it comes to reproductive freedom, gender justice, and health care access.

The SAVE Act is part of a broader pattern: restrict the vote, silence opposition, and hold onto power by keeping the most impacted voices out of the process.

The Senate must reject this bill before it becomes law.

Add your name to demand that the Senate reject the SAVE Act and protect every eligible American’s right to vote — especially those most often pushed to the margins.
