🌕 This is not a drill. If you changed your last name after marriage, you might lose your right to vote.

A new law called the SAVE Act is being pushed by lawmakers right now, and it could block millions of women from voting—simply because their last name doesn’t match their birth certificate.

You read that right. If your ID doesn’t match the name you were born with, you may not be allowed to vote. And guess who this targets the most? Married women.

Let’s break it down, because this is serious.

🪪 What Is the SAVE Act?

The SAVE Act is a law being pushed by Republicans that would require ALL voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship that matches their birth certificate before they can register to vote.

That means your driver’s license, passport, or Social Security card might not be enough. If your name doesn’t match your birth certificate exactly, you could be denied the right to vote.

For most women, that’s a huge problem.

👹 Why Does This Target Married Women?

💍 Did you take your husband’s last name? Then your IDs do not match your birth certificate. That means under the SAVE Act, you’d need to provide extra documents—like a marriage certificate—just to vote.

🤱 Are you a mom who changed your last name to match your kids’? You might struggle to vote in the very elections that decide their future.

💔 Are you divorced and changed your name back? That could be an even bigger nightmare, requiring you to dig up multiple legal documents just to prove who you are.

Men don’t have to deal with this. Women do.

This is voter suppression disguised as election security.

🔮 If This Passes, Here’s What Could Happen

• Women show up to vote and get turned away.
• Longer, more complicated voter registration for married women.
• Millions of women—especially moms—lose their political voice.

The message is loud and clear: if you changed your last name, they are making it HARDER for you to vote.

And if they succeed, what’s next? Birth certificates before opening bank accounts? Proving your name for healthcare? Restrictions on women’s passports?

⏱️ This is how it starts.

⚡ What Can You Do RIGHT NOW?

1️⃣ If you’re not married yet—KEEP YOUR LAST NAME. This law only affects women who change their name after marriage.

2️⃣ If you’ve already changed your name—make sure you have your birth certificate, marriage certificate, and updated ID.

3️⃣ Register to vote NOW before this law takes effect. They want to make it harder later—don’t wait.

4️⃣ SPREAD THE WORD. Text your group chats, send this to your mom, your sister, your best friend. Women need to know what’s coming.

🧙‍♀️ Women fought too hard for the right to vote to let it be taken away over a last name. 

This is how they erase us. This is how we fight back. 

🌕 Share this with EVERY woman you know. If they succeed in making it harder for married women to vote, what’s next? This is just the beginning. 🌕
