First we support/demand passage of S.4 - John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021, S.2615 - Right to Vote Act, and H.R.4959 - Right to Vote Act. These laws need to be passed to mitigate gerrymandering and to ensure untampered counting of the vote (no state overrides).

Then register new voters and register more new voters.
Then we Get Out The Vote, including support with transporting folks to the polls, whatever it takes to keep it fair and safe!
"Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s (D-Texas) voter mobilization organization launched a new voter registration tool on Thursday, days after the Texas legislature approved a controversial elections overhaul bill that many say will restrict access to the ballot box.
The group, Powered by People, launched the “Drive-to-You” program, an on-demand voter registration service that will allow eligible Texas voters to register to vote from their homes."
I’m with you Ellie, but unless the voting rights acts are passed, and they seem to be in trouble because they haven’t been to date, it won’t matter how many people are voting because the state legislatures will throw out the votes they don’t like, just like they are planning to do here in GA. Voting rights has to come first everything else is dressing on the cake including both infrastructure bills one of which should be called the for the children act.
100%. But I fear that even if the Voting rights acts are passed, the Supreme Court will overturn them. The "Republican party" won't let laws like that live.
We sandwich the vote with protections.
