Today, the US House of Representatives passed the SAVE (Safeguarding American Voters Eligibility) Act—a deeply troubling piece of legislation that threatens the freedom to vote for millions, especially women. This legislation imposes strict ID requirements and unnecessary bureaucratic barriers that will make it harder—not safer—for people to cast their ballots.

Up to 69 million women who’ve taken their spouses’ last names could now face discrepancies between their IDs and voter registration, jeopardizing their right to vote. Women who work multiple jobs, care for children, or lack transportation may struggle to meet new requirements or reach limited in-person voting locations. And added paperwork will disproportionately impact women who already have fewer resources or less time to navigate complex systems.

In 2025, it is unacceptable that even with the 19th Amendment, women’s right to vote is still being undermined. This is a stark reminder of how urgently we need the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) recognized and implemented.

Achieving the full realization of the ERA demands political will, a strong democracy, and a shared commitment to gender equality. Our rights—our equality—should never be up for debate. We will continue to organize, fight, and push forward until equality is fully realized.

Luckily, we still have the opportunity to keep this from becoming law. Call your senators today to ensure the SAVE Act fails in the Senate
