Indivisibles,

Next week, the House is voting on H.R. 1 -- the For the People Act. This far-reaching bill expands voting rights, gets money out of politics, and fights corruption. And it’s one of the keys that will unlock a host of progressive policy opportunities in this rare Democratic trifecta.

If we want to win on massively popular priorities like universal health care, immigration, economic justice, or climate, we MUST pass this bill and other democracy reforms. If we don’t, Republicans will be able to block and roll back every step forward we make.

Next week’s vote is a big moment. We’re creating everything from call scripts and websites to digital ads, event supplies, and peer-to-peer contact programs to empower next week’s activism and our whole democracy reform campaign, the For the People Project. Overall, we’re planning to spend over $625,000 just to get the tangible products for our democracy work ready -- and that doesn’t even include the ongoing spending that makes it possible, like staff time or digital infrastructure.

So we need your help. Click here to donate $10 to fund the For the People Project, pass H.R. 1 and other structural democracy reforms, and support all of Indivisible Project’s work.

Need some more info? Here are a few of the big changes H.R. 1 would make to build a more inclusive democracy:

• Empower voters and reverse decades of Republican voter suppression. By restoring protections from the gutted Voting Rights Act, expanding voter eligibility, simplifying registration, and preventing partisan gerrymandering, H.R. 1 will make our elections more representative and participatory.
  
  
• Stem the tide of big money in our elections and strengthen campaign finance law. H.R. 1 takes important steps to reverse the disastrous effects of Citizens United, providing public financing to amplify small-dollar donations, requiring disclosure of all political spending, and more.
  
  
• Tackle ethics and corruption in government. H.R. 1 expands government ethics rules to cover everyone in government (including the president) -- demanding disclosure of financial conflicts of interest, blocking the “revolving door” between government and lobbying firms, and prohibiting bribery.

These reforms will go a long way toward the real structural change we need to make our priorities possible. Together with H.R. 4 (the John Lewis Voting Rights Act), H.R. 51 (the D.C. statehood bill), and our efforts to abolish the filibuster in the Senate, this legislation will unrig our democracy and put the unearned power Republicans have been hoarding for decades back in the hands of the people. And that will allow us to push forward all our other priorities.

To build power for the people, we need to use the power the people already have -- that means putting the strength of the Indivisible movement to work making it all happen. Our movement is what it is because of the actions and support of grassroots activists. And our work is only possible because thousands of people like you come together to provide the funding to put it in motion. That’s why we’re asking: can you donate $10 to pass H.R. 1, execute our democracy reform plans, and support all our progressive priorities this year?

The Democratic trifecta in the federal government gives us a rare opportunity, not just to win policy fights but to fundamentally remake our democracy for the better. We don’t have much time to do it, but we know this movement can handle it. We’re glad you’re in it with us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
