Thank Viviette Applewhite, the 93-year-old fighting Republican voter suppression

Viviette Applewhite, a 93-year old Philadelphia grandmother, does not have a photo ID because her pocketbook was stolen. She hasn't been able to replace her identification because state officials can't find her birth certificate. So, under the new voter ID law passed by Pennsylvania Repbublicans, now she can't vote.

However, she is fighting back by becoming the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU to stop Pennsylvania's new voter ID law.

Sign the petition thanking Mrs. Applewhite for challenging Republican voter suppression laws.

Dear Mrs. Applewhite,

We, the undersigned, thank you for fighting back against the new voter suppression laws in Pennsylvania. We admire your courage and support your fight against this unjust practice.
