A Direct Attack on Democracy

At Voting Access for All Coalition, we believe that every Michigander deserves a fair, accessible, and barrier-free path to the ballot box. But right now, some lawmakers in Lansing are pushing House Joint Resolution B (HJR-B)—a dangerous proposal that threatens the fundamental voting rights enshrined in our state constitution.

If passed, HJR-B will make it harder for eligible voters to cast their ballots, imposing new financial and logistical hurdles. This resolution does not improve election security—it suppresses voter participation. Worse yet, it directly undermines the will of the people—Michiganders have already voted twice (in 2018 and 2020) to strengthen these rights in our constitution. We cannot allow politicians to strip them away.

Here’s a letter template to use:

Subject: Protect Michigan’s Democracy – Vote NO on HJR-B

Dear [Lawmaker’s Name],

I am writing to strongly urge you to vote NO on House Joint Resolution B (HJR-B). Michiganders have spoken loud and clear—twice—in favor of strengthening voting rights in our state constitution. HJR-B undermines the will of the people and could strip tens of thousands of Michigan citizens of their fundamental right to vote.

This resolution does not improve election security. Instead, it imposes unnecessary financial and logistical barriers that make it harder for eligible voters to participate in our democracy. Voting should be accessible, not restricted.

Michigan’s elections are already safe, secure, and fair. Our democracy works best when every eligible voter has a clear, direct, and unimpeded path to the ballot box. Michiganders have proven time and again that we support the voting rights protections enshrined in our constitution. It is your responsibility to uphold them.

I urge you to stand with Michigan voters and reject HJR-B. Please protect our democracy and ensure that every citizen has the right to vote without unnecessary barriers.

Sincerely,
[First & Last Name]

Protect Our Democracy – Act Now
