Friend -- Mitch McConnell continues to play politics by holding up coronavirus relief legislation which includes funding to protect our elections before November.
McConnell's motive? Undermining our elections this year is the first step to putting conservative map manipulators in charge of the redistricting process next year. He should care about the democratic right to vote, but it seems he only cares about holding onto power.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows this. And has said that she will not let McConnell continue to avoid passing legislation to protect our elections and the livelihood of millions of Americans during this pandemic.

Speaker Pelosi has shown time and time again that she'll keep her promise. And now, she's refusing to cave on key provisions of coronavirus relief legislation including commonsense funding to make voting safe and accessible amidst a pandemic.
Let her know you appreciate that she's not backing down from McConnell and that you have her back as she continues to fight to expand access to safe voting. McConnell doesn't care if less people vote, as long he can maintain conservative power. Securing a fair, safe, and accessible vote in November may be a key first step to achieving fair maps in 2021 -- but it's also the right thing to do.
