However it’s not all bad news, this session, 6 states saw proposals creating new State Voting Rights Acts. Why? Because the Supreme Court has gutted the federal Voting Rights Act—making it harder to fight voter suppression in court.

The backers of these bills recognize it's more important than ever to create state-level protections since protections have been weakened on the federal level. Colorado stepped up and passed a new State Voting Rights Act just last month!
Last year alone, we tracked a 90% increase in proposed SVRA bills. The momentum is real—and growing. These state protections matter. Because when the federal government fails to defend our rights, states can—and must—step up.
It’s easy to feel powerless. But your voice still matters—and it’s amplified at the state and local level. Want to take action? Join one of our pro-democracy trainings and learn how to make your voice heard: https://represent.us/campaign-catalyst/
