The Epstein Files Scandal, #MeToo Progress And The Demand For Accountability

Some advocates worry that not enough attention has been paid to threats against voting rights protections.

“It’s hard for people to pay attention in the midst of this chaos,” said Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center Action Fund.

Goss Graves and other activists point to what they call efforts by the Trump administration to dismantle some civil rights gains.

Meanwhile, she said, people should push back against the Republican’s SAVE Act. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility would, among other things, require voters to show proof of citizenship in person for federal elections. Noncitizens are already blocked from voting in federal elections.

“It’s going to be up to all of us to ensure that the SAVE Act continues to die in Congress and that we fight back,” she said.
