Relief is on the way. President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan, a historic achievement that will get immediate relief to the American people. We couldn’t have achieved this without you.
This bill shows that Democrats are committed to delivering on our promises to the American people. But we can’t deliver on climate change, police reform, or immigration if Mitch McConnell holds a veto.
We must end the filibuster and get to work on the important issues we were elected to address.

Democrats were elected to get things done.
We won the White House, kept the House of Representatives, and took the majority in the Senate by running on a bold, progressive agenda to confront the crises we’re facing.
But as long as the filibuster is intact, Mitch McConnell has a veto. It’s time we get rid of it.
A $7.25/hour minimum wage in the year 2021 is a slap in the face to the American worker. A $15 minimum wage is supported by a vast majority of Americans, but the filibuster keeps it from being a reality.
Democrats in the Senate majority represent 41 million more people than Republicans. The only reason we are not legislating like it is because of the filibuster.
Every day we keep the filibuster intact, we’re giving a veto to the gun manufacturers, the pharmaceutical companies, the health insurance industry, and oil and gas companies.
Here’s the truth: If we don’t eliminate the filibuster, we can’t make progress on immigration, police reform, democracy reform, climate change, the minimum wage, gun violence prevention, or any other of our popular progressive ideas.
The good news is a majority of the Democratic caucus now supports eliminating the filibuster, but there are still a few holdouts. We need your help to put the pressure on them.
Thank you for speaking out on this important issue. What we’re able to accomplish will hinge on whether or not we can end this archaic, anti-democratic rule.
