Add your name to demand Congress end this obstructionist tactic and pass legislation like the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Here are the facts:
- Mitch McConnell and his party can still obstruct legislation because of the filibuster.
- 100+ bills to restrict voting have been introduced in state legislatures since November.
- 67% of American voters support the For the People Act -- which would make voting easier and end partisan congressional gerrymandering.
- The Senate can pass this popular reform bill by eliminating the filibuster -- an accidental byproduct of a rule change that was not the Founders' original intent.
Call for an end to the filibuster. It is an outdated tactic that President Obama called "another Jim Crow relic" and is preventing progress on voting rights.
The filibuster is just another way the minority party can wield disproportionate power. This obstructionist tactic hinders the will of the people in the same way gerrymandering hinders representative democracy -- it prevents voters from calling the shots.
Remind Congress that they represent the people and the people want progress on voting rights! Sign our petition to end the filibuster so we can advance the For the People and John Lewis VRA Acts.
