“In too many parts of our country, people still face significant barriers to the ballot, often because of policies specifically designed to suppress voting. We are going on offense to fight back, and change state laws across the country to make it easier for people to vote,” said Faiz Shakir, ACLU National Political Director. “Our democracy wins when more people participate, so our newest People Power campaign will build a nationwide grassroots movement to expand access to the ballot.”

The Let People Vote campaign will consist of location-specific calls to action in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These calls to action fall within four themes:

*election reforms to update the voting system and make voting easier

*countering voter suppression policies that make it harder for people to vote

*rights restoration proposals that give voting rights back to people who have repaid their debt to society

*redistricting reforms to stop corrosive partisan gerrymandering.
