The SAVE Act Is Back—and Women’s Political Power Is on the Line
In the coming days, Congress is poised to take up yet another vote on the so-called SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) America Act. While the bill has been debated before, its renewed momentum makes one thing clear: The implications of the SAVE Act for women voters and women’s political representation are no longer hypothetical. They are immediate.
To help unpack what is at stake, and to provide clear, nonpartisan context as Congress moves forward, RepresentWomen is hosting a public, educational webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The nonpartisan, virtual event brings together election experts and members of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, including Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) and Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), to provide clear, fact-based context, as debate over the SAVE Act intensifies on Capitol Hill.
When access to the ballot narrows, representation narrows with it. The SAVE Act would make that trade-off explicit, and women stand to lose the most.

Trump-Era Federal Layoffs Hit Black Women Hardest
There is a shift happening in the labor force that favors men in general, and white men in particular. And Black women—who historically have found more job security and upward mobility in federal employment—are now seeing those federal jobs slip away in record numbers.
“What we are seeing happening is a federal government that is intent on creating a DEI boogeyman to radically change how workplaces operate in ways that disadvantage women, people of color and LGBTQ workers,” says Gaylynn Burroughs, vice president for education and workplace justice at the National Women’s Law Center.

From Minnesota to Puerto Rico: How We Survive Together
In each of our communities, every day seems to announce itself. Whistles and shouts for our neighbors punctuate each hour, as blades of helicopters and flight drills slice through the air into the night. Increased military and federal government presence is visible, splitting images between the corners of our everyday lives and active battlefields.
We write from two different places, often discussing them separately. We do, however, live as part of the same story.
From Minnesota to Puerto Rico, our struggles are one and the same. So is our strength. We are still here—not because the system is working, but because we work for each other. Maybe this is finally how we usher in a new world order.
