Friends,

Since 1918, there have been nearly 200 failed attempts to make lynching a federal crime.

What you do now will determine if our next attempt fails again, or if we finally get it done. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Tim Scott have a bill that has strong bipartisan support. It would pass and be sitting on the President's desk to sign or veto -- but Mitch McConnell won't bring it to the floor for a vote. Yesterday, it took only one extremist Senator to block it.

This isn’t partisan. There are plenty of votes in both parties to pass this. That’s why Mitch McConnell won’t allow a vote. He wants it to fail for what is close to the 200th time.

Contact your Senator. Demand that a vote be held. Sign my petition and make your voice heard today >> [[link removed]]

In this moment where we must come together as a country to meaningfully discuss steps toward ending centuries of systemic racism, what a horrible message the failure of this bill would be. Passing this bill is far from the only thing we must do to combat injustice and racism, but when we have an opportunity to right an obvious wrong with bipartisan support, we must seize it.

We cannot let Mitch McConnell stop what is so clearly the right thing to do.

Thank you.
-Doug
