Tell Your Senators: Reject the SAVE Act

Latest news: Will the SAVE Act pass? Republicans revive push through funding plan, Voter ID measures USA Today, July 23, 2026

Trump keeps trying to shove the SAVE Act down our throats. Keep up the pressure on senators to oppose it!

Here’s what the Brennan Center says: “The SAVE Act could block millions of American citizens from voting by requiring people to produce documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Our research at the Brennan Center shows that 21 million Americans don’t have these documents readily available.

“We should be protecting the freedom to vote, not restricting it. Congress should reject this anti-voter bill.”

Tell our Wisconsin senators you oppose this bill. Call Sen. Ron Johnson to register your opposition at (202) 224-5323. Thank Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin for continuing to oppose destructive bills like this. Her number is (202) 224-5653. You may also send the senators a message via this Brennan Center page.
