This week, the U.S. House of Representatives is planning to vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — a dangerous attack on our voting rights that threatens the ability to register and cast a ballot for more than 20 million eligible voters.

 

If signed into law, the SAVE Act would impose harsh new voter registration requirements like:

  •  Forcing every voter to register or update their registration in person

  •  Mandating proof of citizenship with documents many Americans don’t have easy access to, like passports or birth certificates that match their current name.

  •  Eliminating voter registration by mail.

  •  Shutting down voter registration drives.

  •  Eliminating online voter registration.

These restrictions would silence millions of voters — especially young voters, Black and Brown voters, women, rural voters, and more.


We can’t sit this one out. Our fundamental right to vote is at stake. Call or email your members of Congress today and demand they vote NO on the SAVE Act.

Public Lands in Public Lands

The Public Lands in Public Hands Bill is a bipartisan bill before the 119th Congress.  This bill would require congressional approval before the Bureau of Land Management can sell public lands. The law states that the BLM can select lands for sale if, through land-use planning, they are found to meet one of three criteria: 1) they are scattered, isolated tracts that are difficult or uneconomic to manage; 2) they were acquired for a specific purpose and are no longer needed for that purpose; or 3) disposal of the land will serve important public objectives, such as community expansion and economic development.  This indivisi-bill would allow some public control via our representatives.

2025 Colorado Indivisi-bills:


The Colorado Indivisi-bils are bills in the Colorado Legislature that are focused on climate, education, healthcare, affordable housing and gun safety. Follow Indivisi-bills here.

Please consider chipping in with a monthly or one-time donation to help us keep up the fight.

With social media companies bending the knee to Trump, Project 2025 purging the government of dissenters, and corporate media companies caving in the face of speech-chilling lawsuits, it’s never been more important to invest in organizations you believe in that are willing to speak out and defy autocracy.
