John,

I’m Anh-Linh Kearney, Research Analyst here at RepresentUs, and I’m here with the latest updates on the For the People Act and what you can do to help right now. 

The situation is constantly evolving, but one thing is certain: Your work has not gone unnoticed. RepresentUs members have sent over 15,000 messages to Congress — and in response, 223 Representatives have come out in support of the Act. 

But now we’ve reached a critical moment — Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer have to bring this bill up for a vote to get the For the People Act passed. That’s why it's so crucial that you send a message to Rep. Pelosi and Rep. Hoyer immediately urging them to bring the For the People Act to the floor right now.

Here’s a snapshot of the impact you’ve already had and what we expect for the fight ahead:

  • With the impeachment trial behind us, lawmakers are beginning to game out what to prioritize for the next two years, including how we fix our broken political system.
  • House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is now considering taking up the For the People Act in the coming month.1 That means now is the time to pressure him to bring this bill up for a vote — and the need for action has never been more urgent.
  • 223 House Members have co-sponsored the bill, including 4 new supporters in the last week. 2  The For the People Act is gaining steam at an important moment and this is the time to keep our foot on the gas.
  • 67% of Americans support the For the People Act. The critical reforms within the bill are popular across party lines.3

Passing this bill relies on voters putting overwhelming pressure on House leadership to act. If Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer know that the American people are behind the For the People Act, they’ll have no choice but to bring it to a vote.

Will you send a message to the House leadership right now demanding they pass the For the People Act?

Signature-by-signature and call-by-call, our movement is pressuring Congress to vote YES on the Act. But only the House Leadership can bring the For the People Act up for a vote.

Your support and action is the backbone of this campaign — and it’s how we’re going to make sure the most impactful anti-corruption bill since Watergate passes.

We’ll keep you updated as new information comes in. Thank you for being part of this.

Ben
