People Power United: Freedom to Vote Act Toolkit
The freedom to vote will protect the right to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, combat election subversion, and decrease the power of big moneyed special interests.
In a multiracial democracy, ALL people deserve to be valued, pursue their dreams, and advance progress together. With love in our hearts and hard work, we will reclaim our nation from the cruelty, chaos, and confusion. It is our duty to defeat fascism and win liberty and justice for all.

What’s in this toolkit?
This toolkit is designed to help you participate in the nationwide effort to promote the Freedom to Vote Act. Many of the resources here are templates that you can adapt for your own purposes. Best practices encourage you to reword sample posts slightly. We have included different actions you can take, remember People Power United believes in the possibility of change and we work to make it happen.
Total time for all actions: 5-20 minutes
Why?
From the House of Representatives to the Supreme Court to state legislatures, radical republicans want to take away our freedoms and rule for the wealthy few. With the Freedom to Vote Act, we can finally take action against some of the largest issues plaguing our democracy. It will protect the right to vote, end partisan gerrymandering, combat election subversion, and decrease the power of big moneyed special interests. Together we can realize a democracy that represents, reflects, and responds to all of us. We can make this a place where our leaders honor their oaths, protecting our country and our freedoms.
