TELL CONGRESS: STOP TRUMP'S ATTACK ON THE RIGHT TO VOTE!

The right to vote is a human right! But President Trump and his administration are taking steps to restrict who can vote, how votes are cast and counted, and who has authority over election administration.

These actions threaten the rule of law and could create new barriers to voting — especially for communities that already face discrimination. While the Supreme Court ruled against part of Trump’s effort to restrict voting by mail, it is not enough. Congress has a responsibility to act when the executive branch exceeds its authority and threatens human rights, including our right to vote.

As we look toward the November midterm elections, join us to sound the alarm bells louder. Urge your elected lawmakers to do their jobs: They must protect our right to vote, uphold the rule of law, and hold the administration accountable!

Dear {contact_data~salutation}

In the leadup to the November midterm elections, I am writing as your constituent and with Amnesty International USA to encourage you to use your legislative powers to protect the right to vote without discrimination and to safeguard civic space, the rule of law, and human rights to enable the effective exercise of electoral rights.

The right to vote in genuine elections is a human right. People must have a real opportunity to vote without discrimination, intimidation, or unnecessary barriers. Lawfully cast votes must be counted, and lawful election results must be respected and implemented.

The Trump administration is taking steps to restrict voting, including efforts to influence who can vote, how votes are cast and counted, and who has authority over election administration. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress and the states – not the president – the authority to establish the rules governing federal elections.

These actions raise serious concerns about the rule of law and the separation of powers. They could also create new barriers to voting and have a discriminatory impact on immigrant, Black, Brown, Indigenous Peoples and other historically marginalized communities.

Congress must act.

I urge you to publicly oppose any executive action or administration policy that would take control over federal elections and to conduct immediate oversight hearings on such actions, including any related coordination between the White House and outside groups.

Congress must ensure that any measures affecting elections respect the right to vote and do not have a discriminatory purpose or effect.

Please use your oversight, appropriations, and legislative powers to:

• Stop President Trump’s restrictions on voting by mail and his attempts to create a national voter list. That includes passing the Absentee and Mail Voter Protection Act;

• Protect eligible voters from discriminatory voting barriers, including by rejecting measures that impose documentary proof-of-citizenship requirements that disenfranchise eligible voters. That includes voting NO on and rejecting the SAVE Act, a discriminatory bill that has already passed the House;

• Publicly oppose and take action against any executive action that improperly shifts authority over electoral processes to the executive branch, or that would assert federal control over elections;

• Protect voter privacy by conducting oversight of federal voter-data demands, use of the SAVE system, and DHS-DOJ data-sharing;

• Protect election officials and others involved in administering elections from retaliation;

The 2026 midterm elections are a critical opportunity for people across the United States to exercise their right to participate in public life. Congress must act now to ensure that those rights are protected, not weakened – now and ahead of the 2028 presidential election.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,
