1 Threats to Voting Rights + Unions in the States
2 Threats to Voting Rights + Unions in the States Jamal Watkins National Outreach Director, AFL-CIO
3 Threats to Voting Rights + Unions in the States Statement 1: The problem with our system is that we are not electing the right champions. If we focus our collective resources and energy on champions of the issue we deeply care about then we fix what is broken within our democracy. Statement 2: Voter turn out and direct voter contact is more important than voter registration and voter protection activities. Statement 3: If we do not fix how voting districts are drawn through redistricting reforms then it does not matter what types of voting rights legislation we pass because one side will have the electoral advantage.
4 What Voter Suppression Looks Like State: The Attack On Voting Rights
5 Threats to Voting Rights + Unions in the States Courtney Hight Democracy Program Director, Sierra Club
6 Sierra Club and Environmental Allies Joining the Fight for our Democracy
7 PROTECT THE VOTE. PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. The Sierra Club opposed Amendment 6 Because: Sierra Club Missouri volunteers prep to canvass against voter ID measure. The people most impacted by pollution and climate disruption will be hit hardest by this amendment. We work with allies to ensure all voices have an equal say in decisions impacting our live. A critical piece of this is ensuring communities can vote.

18 Strategic Imperatives 1. MOBILIZE OUR BASE TO ENGAGE CHAMPIONS AND DRIVE POLICY BREAKTHOUGHS: Move from policy and electoral defense to offense. 2. PROVIDE AND BUILD CORE CAPACITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE: Use what we have and can create to increase our core capacity and infrastructure to scale. 3. SHAPE THE DEBATE AND CREATE A LONG TERM POLITICAL DEMAND: Develop long term structural and strategic advantages to win in the narrative and political demand space for expanding and protecting voting rights.
19 WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? A Federal Fix to ensure the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is restored. An inclusive, pro-voter election system in each state: Voter Registration Modernization (Automatic and Online) Election Day (Same Day) Registration Early Vote No-Fault Absentee Voting Ex-Offender Re-Enfranchisement Transparency (Notice to the Public about changes) Language Assistance An end to Photo ID and other suppression policies and tactics The end of the wealthy few and corporations from buying elections.
20 Threats to Voting Rights + Unions in the States SCENARIO #1: A Photo ID Measure is on the Ballot in November across 12 States and threatens to suppress 1.3 million voters in the 2020 general election. What do you do? SCENARIO #2: The Governor of the State of FL decides to Veto a Bill Restoring the Right to Vote to those formerly incarcerated. The field needs to get 5 Republicans and 3 Democrats to switch their votes to override the Governor s Veto to pass the legislation. What do you do? SCENARIO #3: The Governor in the State of Illinois is considering opposing legislation that will bring automatic registration to the State. The legislation is similar to the ones passed in OR and CA. What do you do?
