The Brennan Center’s new report, How To Fix Long Lines, on how important weekend voting is to increasing American voter turnout and making sure all Americans have a chance to vote.

How YOU can help: Sign our petition to Congress and the President to support the Weekend Voting Act, that would move Election Day to the weekend so everyone can vote.
