"Under the proposal (https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10968.pdf), all states would be required to send the federal government a list of all registered voters to which they are sending mail-in and absentee ballots in key federal elections. The proposal appears to give the postal service new power to block delivery of ballots to people that are not on the list and allow the agency to refuse delivery of ballots that do not meet new federal standards outlined in the proposed rule."

Proposed US Postal Service changes will undermine free and fair elections. Many choose mail-in voting because it’s convenient, accessible or the only option. Oppose these changes. Tell the USPS to stick to its core mission. Email now!

In 1967, not even 60 years ago, the Supreme Court established the right to in*******al marriage in our case representing Mildred and Richard Loving.

Today, we remain committed to challenging legislation that discriminates against our communities and tears our families apart.
