We are putting the lessons learned at the 2026 America Votes State Summit to work! After hearing from leaders and organizers from across the country, AV staff led a series of workshops to equip our coalition with tools and tactics to win in 2026 and beyond. #AVsummit26

Day 3 of the Summit kicked off with a conversation about how we can take community organizing to the internet, where pro-democracy voices are coordinating and collaborating like never before to win in 2026 and effectively advocate for what’s at stake. #AVsummit26

Glad to be part of @americavotes.bsky.social #AVSummit26 to discuss the stakes of this November's elections, how we build community and mobilize people to action, and—most importantly—what we're fighting for that will help working families have a better life and a stronger democracy.

Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for your tireless work to defend our democracy. Your leadership is an inspiration as we work to build power and win in 2026 and beyond. #AVsummit26

Strengthening civic participation means centering the issues that matter most to our communities. Thank you to @cffe.bsky.social, @somosvotantes.bsky.social, @lcv.org, Mississippi NAACP, and @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social for championing the importance of lowering the cost of living. #AVsummit26

The question on all of our minds right now is how can be resist authoritarianism? Thank you to @paoramos.bsky.social for sharing valuable perspective and hope for the future. We are stronger together! #AVsummit26

America Votes stands in solidarity with the Aramark Food Service Workers of @uniteherelocal23 who are participating in a “walk and work” informational action. We will always have the backs of our partners in the labor movement, and we support these workers as they fight for a fair contract.

Unions are on the frontline of building a stronger democracy. Thank you @afscme.bsky.social President Lee Saunders and @aflcio.org President @lizshuler.bsky.social for always fighting for America's workers! #AVsummit26

Thank you Governor Wes Moore for delivering for Marylanders and setting an example of what it looks like to stand up for your values in this moment. #AVsummit26 @govwesmoore.bsky.social

@rweingarten.bsky.social spoke at @americavotes.bsky.social #AVSummit26 today on the fight ahead in this year’s elections and beyond to protect and strengthen our democracy and expand opportunity for all Americans. "None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something."

Protecting our rights, our families, the environment, or anything we care about begins with voting. Thank you to @lcv.org, @aft.org, and @hrc.org for connecting with voters on issues that matter! #AVsummit26

Thank you Attorney General @ericholder.bsky.social for reminding us that the moral arc of the universe will only bend toward justice if we work together to make it so.

It was great to speak to the folks attending the @americavotes.bsky.social Summit today. This group of organizations and individuals is doing so much good work to protect our democracy and make our nation more fair and more just. Great partners.

America Votes’ Executive Director Daria Dawson opened #AVsummit26 by laying out all that is at stake in these midterm elections. We can shape a better future if we harness the power of our votes and our voices.

Our coalition continues to grow! AV President Greg Speed kicked off #AVsummit26 by welcoming organizers and advocates that represent every corner of our country.

This week, America Votes will bring together thousands of organizers to plan for the midterms and beyond! Follow along and share with #AVSummit26 as our coalition gathers to reflect and strategize about how we move forward together.

“Despite efforts from the Trump administration and Republican leadership in Congress to roll back voting access, American citizens are showing up to elect pro-democracy champions who will stand up for what we actually need. Read the full statement here: americavotes.org/america-vote...

People of all gender identities and expressions have always existed and will continue to exist. We will continue to fight for a future where trans and non-binary people’s fundamental freedoms and rights are respected. #TDOV

The SAVE America Act could disenfranchise approximately 69 million women because their name on their birth certificate does not match their current legal name. We will not stand by as anyone tries to reverse the progress that generations of women fought and died for. #WomensHistoryMonth

We already know what happens when more documents are required in the name of “election integrity.” In New Hampshire’s township elections alone, hundreds of eligible U.S. citizens were denied their right to vote and the elections were not any more secure. www.wmur.com/article/data...

Lets call the SAVE America Act what it is: a blatant attempt to retain power ahead of the midterms while making it more difficult for millions to exercise their right to vote. Read the full statement here: americavotes.org/america-vote...

Every eligible voter deserves the ability to make their voice heard at the ballot box without unnecessary hurdles. Regardless of who is in power, we will continue protecting American’s fundamental right to vote.

Reminder: Voting by mail is a safe, secure way to cast a ballot that millions of Americans depend on. We will continue working to protect every eligible American’s right to vote.

The law already states that only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections. Rolling back the progress that generations of Americans have fought for will not make our elections more secure.

Wishing all who are celebrating #LunarNewYear strength and prosperity in the Year of the Horse! 🐴🧧

In 1926, Dr. Carter G. Woodson led the movement to dedicate time to recognizing Black Americans and their innumerable contributions to our country. 100 years later, we honor Black history by working to build a true and reflective democracy for all.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s teachings are as important today as they ever have been. We honor Dr. King’s legacy by speaking out against injustice, leading with compassion, and working to secure equal rights for all.

Five years ago, armed insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol with the intention of overturning the results of a free and fair election. We cannot forget what happened on that day, and we must continue working to secure our democracy for future generations of Americans.

Women belong in every room where decisions are made. On #WomensEqualityDay and everyday, we keep working to build a more just, equitable society for all.

The right to vote is the right that unlocks all other rights and freedoms. As we reflect on the signing of the 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, we recommit ourselves to defending this fundamental right for every American.

This moment demands that we not only preserve what remains of the VRA, but also restore it to its full power and expand it to meet the threats of this century. Read the full statement from America Votes President Greg Speed on the 60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965:

Today we reflect on the promise of America, and we recommit ourselves to working to achieve liberty and justice for ALL.

On this day in 1990, the law of the land affirmed what we have known for far longer: all Americans should be able to make their voices heard at the ballot box, regardless of their ability. Whether or not you need assistance, you have a constitutional right to vote and have a say in our democracy.
