Since January, 48 states have introduced 389 bills that amount to shameful, outright voter suppression, and many have already become law.
These laws suppress voting methods that enrich our democracy and lead to high turnout: banning ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, reducing early voting days and hours, restricting who can get a mail-in ballot, prohibiting officials from promoting the use of of mail-in ballots even when voters qualify, even criminalizing the distribution of water to voters waiting in the long lines these laws create.
That’s why, on August 28, 2021, we’re marching on Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Phoenix and cities across America.
If you plan to attend near you please be sure to wear your AFGE blue and gold! We'd love to see your march photos on social media. Tag them using #VotingRightsMarch and #AFGEMarchesOn.

In Solidarity,
AFGE
