We are the future.
They cannot silence us.
Protect your right to vote.
Take Action
We won’t be silenced. Take action to protect your right to vote!
The And Still I Vote call to action will work to stop efforts to silence our voices and empower our communities to act. It’s up to us to create a democracy where every eligible voter can cast a ballot and have it counted.
Why We Fight
And Still I Vote is a national call to action for people to take back the power of the vote. In every corner of our country, policymakers have put up discriminatory barriers to the ballot that shut out people of color. From closing polling places in Black communities to wrongfully erasing voters from the rolls – including low-income voters, seniors, and college students. They are taking away our right to vote and rigging the system for their own benefit.

And they’re deciding – in secret – to close polling places in our communities. Read our report, Democracy Diverted, to learn more!

Spread the word
Did you know that millions of Americans can’t access the democratic process because of solvable problems in how elections are run? These problems aren’t felt equally across communities – voters of color are 6x more likely than white voters to wait longer than an hour to vote, even in the same town. Spread the word to help defeat barriers to the ballot box.
