Stand Against Voter Suppression
Stand Against Voter Suppression is a Project TEAL campaign dedicated to addressing the increase in voter suppression measures since the 2020 election. After former President Donald Trump falsely claimed rampant election fraud had occurred, legislatures all over the country began drafting legislation to restrict voting accessibility. We believe these bills present a challenge to American democracy and will further political apathy. Project TEAL has created this campaign to ensure youth voices are heard in the decision making regarding our accessibility to voting in the future and those of disadvantaged communities.
