Official Daily Action for Thursday, April 16, 2025

The SAVE act is a malicious voter ID bill that has passed the House and is now moving to the Senate. Here are just some of the problems with the SAVE act, from Indivisible National:

-Overnight, it would essentially end online and mail-in voter registration.
-Proof of citizenship doesn’t mean a simple driver’s license. It means a birth certificate or a passport – documents that tens of millions of citizens simply don’t have access to.
-Married people who’ve changed their names wouldn’t be able to register using their original birth certificates — effectively disenfranchising millions of women.
-Trans and nonbinary people who’ve changed their names to reflect their gender identity would also face massive challenges to voting — and the State Department’s ban on updating sex designations on passports (if upheld in court) would add to the difficulty of satisfying the bill’s proof of citizenship requirements.

Please call Senators Cantwell and Murray and ask for the following:
1) They make their position on the bill clear and public
2) They take action to filibuster the bill (especially Murray as the most senior woman in Democratic leadership in the Senate).

Call Senator Patty Murray
D.C. Office: (202) 224-2621

Script: “My name is [NAME] from [CITY, ZIP]. Please oppose the voter suppression bill the SAVE Act and make your opposition to the bill public. We would also like you to filibuster the SAVE Act, since this bill would disenfranchise millions of voters and make it difficult for anyone who has changed their name to vote.”
