Call to Action – February 2026
Friends —
Have you heard about the SAVE Act?
Republicans in Congress have introduced the extreme anti-voter Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22/S.128) and declared it among their top priorities. This bill would hinder millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote by requiring citizens to present a birth certificate or passport in person to register.
- Millions of Americans don’t have easy access to these documents.
- More than 21.3 million Americans lack immediate access to documentary proof of citizenship.
- More than 140 million Americans do not have a passport, and elderly Americans are one of the demographic groups least likely to have one.
- 69 million women who have taken their spouse’s last name do not have a birth certificate that matches their legal name.
- Similarly, transgender people who change their name to reflect their gender identity may be denied new passports and become ineligible to register.
- Disabled people are already much more likely to encounter a difficulty while voting compared to a nondisabled voter; more stringent requirements will just make this worse.
- Citizens of color are three times more likely than white citizens to lack documents such as birth certificates, passports, naturalization certificates, or certificates of citizenship.
- An in-person registration requirement would prevent military members serving abroad from easily registering to vote.
Unfortunately, the US House just voted to pass the SAVE ACT and it is on its way to be voted on in the Senate TODAY (2/12/26).
CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE “NO” ON THE SAVE ACT!
Senator Mike Lee: (202) 224-5444;

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Cedar City,
I’m calling to urge Senator Lee to oppose the House-passed SAVE America Act, which would create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters, especially women, seniors, and low-income citizens. The bill is designed to block voters despite no evidence of widespread fraud.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
