This is HUGE news, John:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi just announced House Democrats will push to make sure
nationwide vote-by-mail is included in the next coronavirus relief
package.

Pelosi said making sure Americans can vote by mail is important to
protecting the “life of our democracy” -- and she is absolutely right.

You did this! Over 250,000 progressives nationwide, including 33,418 DFA
members, called on Congress to make this happen in the next bill and
Speaker Pelosi is working to make it happen.

But we can’t let up the pressure now. Republicans are going to do
everything they can to strip it from the Senate version of the bill. That
means, Democrats in Congress, both Senate and House, need to make clear
any bill that doesn’t protect Americans and their right to vote with
mandatory access to vote by mail nationwide is a dealbreaker.

Without this crucial reform, Americans across the country could be forced
to risk their health in order to exercise their constitutional right to
vote. Democrats can’t let that happen.

Mitch and Senate Republicans and demand no deal without nationwide
vote-by-mail in the next relief package. We can’t afford to bargain with
the health of our democracy >>

We’ve already seen what an unsafe vote-in-person election looks like in
Wisconsin earlier this month, when the Republican state legislature
blocked vote-by-mail and voters were forced to stand in long lines at
overcrowded polling locations to make their voices heard.

We can’t let that happen again. We can’t allow vote-by-mail to be left on
the cutting room floor of the next coronavirus relief package.

DFA members have already shown the power of our collective action by
getting to this step. Now with the support of DFA members nationwide,
we’re going to keep pushing until it becomes law.

Thanks for raising your voice today. Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep
fighting to win.
