  • Voters and underrepresented communities: Would spotlight historical and ongoing barriers to the franchise and note that about 4.4 million people are disenfranchised due to felony convictions, including 1 in 16 Black adults.
  • Schools and students: Would encourage public schools and universities to teach how to register and vote, the history of voter suppression, and current voting restrictions.
  • Congress and elections: Would urge passage of the Freedom to Vote Act to set national standards for registration and voting access and the Democracy Restoration Act to restore voting rights after release from imprisonment.
  • Public outreach and the Postal Service: Would praise the USPS John R. Lewis stamp and invite Congress to fund public service announcements across TV, radio, print, social media, and transit to remind people about registration and election dates.
