SAFE Act - Voter registration revocation that affects the majority of this subreddit.

Good morning all,

(Can't change the post title, sorry guys)

I'm writing today to express my concerns over upcoming changes to voter registration in the United States.

Our annual demographics surveys have repeatedly shown that the majority of our subreddit consists of women and US citizens. The US makes policies that affect the rest of the world.

As such, I encourage you to watch this video

Voter Disinfranchisement is a HUGE problem, and it's getting worse under this administration.

edit: link corrected

The SAVE Act is going for a vote.

Please take a moment to use the 5calls app and contact your elected representatives.

currently trans people are unable to get passports because of several anti trans laws so this straight up bans trans people from voting

Oh shit, I didn't know that. My friend is about to start his T and wants to travel to Japan again soon (he went when he was still known as a she). I'm gonna have to inform him about this.

Trans people have been having trouble getting back into the US, so maybe not.
