Tell Congress: No guns at the polls
U.S. Congress
It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America.
The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of people openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear.
That's why we're taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, democracy activists like you helped pass laws restricting guns at polling places in New Mexico and Massachusetts – and with your action, we can bring this solution to every state in the nation.
With political tensions running high, it's more important than ever to ensure our polling places remain free from suppression and fear. No matter what you think about gun safety laws, banning guns at the polls is a commonsense step that every American who loves democracy should be able to agree on right now.
Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope – NOT fear – and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide.
If you agree, add your name to our petition today telling Congress to make every polling place a gun-free zone.

Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.
