These organizations have issued public letters, action alerts, and statements urging lawmakers to vote against the bill. Many are part of broader coalitions and have lobbied Congress directly through communications, scorecards (e.g., tracking votes for future advocacy), and grassroots mobilization. They often frame the SAVE Act as voter suppression rather than election security.

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights: A coalition of over 240 national organizations (including the NAACP, ACLU, and others). They sent a letter signed by 111 groups opposing H.R. 22, calling it a "shameful, divisive attempt" to restrict voting access, especially for voters of color, Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. They intend to score votes on the bill in their congressional voting record, which influences endorsements and funding for campaigns.

Brennan Center for Justice: Described the SAVE Act as "the worst voting bill to be passed by Congress in memory," warning it could block millions from voting without solving any real issue, as noncitizen voting is already rare and illegal. They've lobbied via letters to Congress and public reports.

League of Women Voters: Urged senators to reject the bill, emphasizing that it disrupts established voter registration processes (e.g., online, mail-in, or drives) and adds burdens despite existing safeguards against noncitizen voting.

Issue One: A bipartisan group that organized nearly 60 election officials (including Republican and Democratic secretaries of state like Michigan's Jocelyn Benson and Nevada's Cisco Aguilar) to oppose it. They called it a "recipe for chaos" with unfunded mandates and legal risks for election administrators.

APIAVote (Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote): Highlighted disproportionate impacts on AAPI communities and other communities of color, urging opposition to protect democratic participation.

Voters Not Politicians: A Michigan-based group focused on anti-voter suppression efforts; they've organized rallies and grassroots lobbying against the SAVE Act as part of broader voter rights campaigns.
Nonprofit VOTE: Called it a "wrong solution for a non-problem" and mobilized action alerts to senators, arguing it harms voters across parties but especially rural, Native, and voters of color.

5 Calls: An activist platform that tracks and opposes the bill as "extreme anti-voter" legislation, noting updates on lobbying efforts by Trump, Elon Musk, and House Republicans to push it forward despite Senate hurdles.

Other groups mentioned in coalition letters include the NAACP, MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund), and various state-level voting rights organizations.

That includes 71% of Democrats.

Thune is fricking useless.
