CLC Champions the For the People Act. Here’s How It Will Help Us Achieve a Better Democracy.

The For the People Act, H.R. 1 / S. 1, is a sweeping democracy reform package that has been reintroduced in the U.S. Congress.

If passed, this much-needed legislation would enact some of the greatest, most comprehensive improvements our democracy has seen in decades. CLC has been supporting this legislation and its reforms for years.

Congress should pass, and President Biden should sign, the For the People Act into law. This bill will advance voting rights, strengthen ethics laws, curtail partisan gerrymandering and decrease the influence of wealthy special interests in our political system.
