Why it matters:
Furloughing staff undermines classroom stability and student support, shifting the cost of budget shortfalls onto educators and kids. Local governance choices have direct consequences for voters and families.

Why it matters:
When leaders attack a system and then use it, they're eroding trust while depending on it — a dangerous double standard that undermines confidence in our elections.
Are Republicans Trying to Hoodwink Trump on the SAVE Act? - TPM – Talking Points Memo

The Senate votes this week on the SAVE Act — a bill that could strip millions of Americans of their right to vote. Call your senators and tell them to vote no.

Republicans are once again pushing for a series of voter suppression bills – all variations of their infamous “SAVE Act” – which would create unnecessary obstacles for millions of eligible Americans trying to register to vote. This voter suppression legislation would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate bearing their current legal name, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters don’t have these documents readily available. Because these bills would require showing this proof in person, they would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. If passed, these bills would disproportionately impact: Married women and others who have changed their last names, many of whom don’t have birth certificates matching their legal name Naturalized citizens who could face additional barriers and intimidation Trans and nonbinary people Rural Americans who would no longer have access to online and mail-in voting Military members, tribal citizens, and working-class Americans, who may not have easy access to these documents And others! We’ve seen the damage done by similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Those without citizenship status are already barred from voting in federal elections, and states have secure systems in place to verify voter eligibility. These bills aren't necessary, and they won't improve election security. They'll just make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

Good Morning #Canada
Technically Black Canadians, recently emancipated, earned the right to vote in 1837. However the reality of #VotingRights was very different for them, for women, Indigenous people, and poor Canadians. The history of voting rights in Canada was messy, unfair, and full of examples where our government abused their power.
Remember, voting is a privilege achieved through significant struggle. Don't squander it.

The story of the right to vote in Canada is the story of a centuries‐long struggle to extend democratic rights to all citizens. It’s a chaotic tale that includes rebellions and riots, as well as protests, and visits to the Supreme Court of Canada. Without further ado, here is the story of voting rights in what is now Canada.
