Dear Friend,
On Inauguration Day last week, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were sworn
in, giving Democrats the majority in the U.S. Senate.
But Mitch McConnell is already planning to strangle the entire Biden
agenda before it's even begun.
COVID-19 relief. Immigration reform. Health care. Tax reform. Voting
rights. McConnell wants to stop it all unless Democrats shut him down and
end the filibuster.

The first days of Biden’s administration have been historic. The president
has reentered us into the Paris Climate Accord, returned collective
bargaining power to federal workers, stopped the U.S.’s withdrawal from
the World Health Organization, and ended the Muslim ban.^1
But if we are going to see other promises Biden made come to fruition,
like coronavirus relief funds, $15 minimum wage, and green jobs for
infrastructure, Congress must pass the legislation needed without waiting
weeks or months in vain for Republicans to come around.
None of that has a chance of happening if McConnell uses the filibuster to
hold up legislation, like he did with more than 400 bills in the last year
alone.^2
We cannot afford to wait any longer. We cannot let Senate Democrats allow
McConnell to undermine progress. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Thanks for standing with us.
