How could the SAVE Act send us tumbling back to the Suffragette era? This bill that’s pending review in the Senate could jeopardize voting access for up to 69 million American women. It would require all voters to prove citizenship with a passport or birth certificate in order to register to vote, which is a big problem for anyone who’s name has changed since birth—including through marriage—as well as anyone who doesn’t have easy access to such documentation.

In this episode, I take a closer look at whether the concern from women and voter rights activists across the country is legitimate or overblown. Spoiler alert: it’s worse than I imagined.

Make sure you’re in the know about this major threat, including:

The specifics of the SAVE Act;
The challenges that make this legislation so alarming to women’s and voter rights activists;
How you can make your voice heard to prevent this bill from becoming law.
