About the Church of Universal Suffrage

The Church of Universal Suffrage is an international, officially registered, non-profit religious institution that holds regular, weekly Sunday Service in meditation on the nature of voter suppression. We also observe every voting day in the United States to be an official holiday reserved for the celebration of our sacred right to vote, endowed to us by our Creator along with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The Seven Suffrage Tenets

I.

One should always strive to promote and protect the sacred rights of all people. Protecting the rights and well-being of others is essential to the pursuit of one’s own happiness.

II:

One should always take Voting seriously, as it is sacred. The holy act of voting is a civic sacrament and one's first vote is a rite of passage. The act of voter suppression is a sin, as is the violation of any sacred right.

III:

The freedoms of others should always be respected, the right to freedom does not make one free to violate the freedom of others.

IV:

One should celebrate their sacred human rights and attempts to violate these rights should be studied and circumvented.

V:

It is our sacred duty to provide assistance and resources to ease the suffering of anyone on the pilgrimage to perform the civic sacrament of voting.

VI:

The struggle for Universal Suffrage is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over restrictive laws.

VII:

Natural human rights cannot be taken away, even as punishment for a crime, they can only be protected or violated. Governments do not grant Natural Rights to people, all people are naturally endowed with these rights.

Donations

The Church of Universal Suffrage will never ask for or accept any donation. We ask that you donate to a local charity of your choice instead.

However, because our Church was founded in Tennessee, we do recommend donating to Dreams and Wishes: a non-profit organization that grants wishes for local Tennessee children diagnosed with cancer.
