We all know how critically we need federal protections for abortion access and voting rights. We need common sense gun control to protect lives. We need immediate climate action to tackle the global crisis. We need all of that and more, and in order to prevent future obstruction of our priorities, we must eliminate the filibuster.

Listen, this election season Democrats have the chance to regain control of the U.S. House while maintaining control of the White House and U.S. Senate, regaining the full legislative control we need to execute a real agenda. This is a great goal for November, but even if we pull it off it won't be enough.

The filibuster impedes legislative progress, requiring a supermajority of 60 Senators to pass bills. It is an archaic rule that doesn’t exist in the Constitution and allows just 41 senators to block legislation, giving a minority of senators total power over which bills Congress can pass. The filibuster is entirely undemocratic.

The filibuster has a long history of disenfranchising marginalized Americans. It is a Jim Crow tool that has repeatedly been used to undermine the adoption of measures to protect and advance the rights of Black Americans. The filibuster's past and present is racist.

If we are going to pass any meaningful legislation on racial justice, the climate crisis, gun safety, reproductive rights, or restoring power to the people over big corporations and billionaires, we must eliminate the filibuster.

In the wake of Donald Trump's presidency, we've seen hard-right judges stacked on the Supreme Court, federal courts, and state courts across the country, delivering devastating rulings that have weakened voting rights, gun reforms, climate protections, and completely overturned abortion rights.

We must fight back and put more Democrats on the courts.

The Senate is the only body which can confirm federal judges and as such, Democratic control of the Senate is crucial to shaping judicial appointments. We must ensure the Senate stays in Democratic hands in 2024.

And in the states, we must pour resources into often highly contested judicial races that get little attention, but that have a wide influence on the daily lives of Americans.

Progress Courts PAC is working every day to hold the Senate and help elect progressive judges across the country, and we need your help.
