Workers Circle Statement: Defending Democracy Against Voter Suppression:
The Workers Circle condemns President Trump's announced plan to eliminate mail-in voting as a direct assault on the very heart of democracy — the fundamental right to vote. This unprecedented executive action is an unconstitutional power grab that threatens to disenfranchise millions of Americans, particularly seniors, people with disabilities, working families, rural voters, and communities of color who depend on mail-in voting for accessible participation in our democracy. This represents the latest attack in a coordinated, relentless campaign to restrict voting access, undermine our democracy and destroy the foundations of our Constitutional republic.
About the Workers Circle
Celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2025, the Workers Circle is a national Jewish social justice organization founded by Eastern European immigrants who came to the United States fleeing autocracy and persecution and seeking democratic freedoms and economic opportunities. That history drives the organization’s work for an inclusive democracy and social equality today. Through strategic and impactful social justice initiatives, vibrant Yiddish language classes and programs, and interactive educational activities, the Workers Circle powers a growing multigenerational community of 150,000+ activists creating meaningful social change, building transformative coalitions and demanding a multiracial multicultural democracy for all.
