This year, voters in almost half the country will face new voting restrictions. Are you ready to fight back?
We believe we must build a truly multiracial, multicultural democracy that works for every one of us. That’s why we’re not just defending democracy, we’re demanding it. And we’re fighting back against the rise of right-wing fascist politics that is threatening people and undermining American democracy.
Voters across the nation are planning to vote their values this election. But if they’ve been purged from the voting rolls or don’t have the right ID, millions of voters will be silenced. New state voter suppression laws across the country are making it harder to vote, particularly for voters of color, reversing the progress made since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. This is America in the 21st century. It’s shocking and wrong.
That’s why the Workers Circle is organizing to reach 1,000,000 voters in voter suppression states with the nonpartisan information they need to cast their ballots. Join us as we fight back by calling, texting, postcarding, and door-knocking. Click the “take action” button above to dive in!
American democracy is under attack with a speed and scope we’ve not seen before in our lifetime. As America’s population and its voters have grown less white and more multiracial over the last several decades, white, reactionary conservatives have leveraged anti-democratic features within American democracy, to secure their power. Their progress thus far is indisputable, but their victory is not inevitable.
Workers Circle activists across the nation are demanding the democracy we need by fighting for comprehensive federal voting rights legislation, an end to the racist filibuster, for democratic rights in the workplace and fundamental human equality under the law. We engage in direct actions, work in coalition, and gather locally in democracy circles to build power and community to face this moment. For more on how Democracy Circles are essential to this fight, see the article written by the Workers Circle Director of Social Justice, Noelle Damico: The Work of Freedom Is Ongoing and It Takes All of Us.
Right now the US is experiencing a surge in fascist political tactics as former President Trump and the right-wing extremists and lawmakers in his thrall try to consolidate power.
But we the people will not stand idly by. This is a hundreds-of-years long struggle for the soul of our nation and we will push our country forward. Are you ready to help build the America we must become?
