The Republican Accountability Project is a nationwide advocacy campaign reinforcing the importance of accountability by some Republicans and conservatives who want other Republicans to stop sowing distrust in our elections. They are making sure their message is broadcast far and wide to push back against election deniers and MAGA extremists.

The Chicks' March! March!

What's on the ballot these elections? 

1. Roe vs Wade - access to abortion all across the country. 
2. the economy - Social Security and Medicare cuts for tax breaks and incentives to billionaires and corporations 
3. our planet - stop using fossil fuels and debunk climate deniers 
4. our democracy - every American has the right to vote and get that vote counted

Election officials have prepared for unrest at polling locations, including abuse directed toward poll workers and citizen-led surveillance of voters and election equipment.
