Federal law prohibits blanket purges of voters 90 days before an election. SD conducted one of these purges a mere 28 days before the election and then bragged about it in a press release. ACLU of South Dakota demands these wrongfully purged voters be immediately reinstated.

SD legislators are in Pierre debating a bill to require posting of the 10 commandments in every classroom while non-profits that have real violence prevention programs are shutting down due to extremist federal policies. State leaders should serve the people of this state.

🚨 This is HUGE! SD is the *only* state in the nation where an ingestion charge = a felony. It's time for us to step into the 21st century and stop demonizing folks struggling with substance use disorder in our state. Call your Representatives and urge them to pass SB 83!
