A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

Nearly two months after the start of the new Congress, the Democrat-led
majorities in both chambers have been moving quickly on legislation that
would provide pandemic relief, strengthen our democracy, and protect our
fundamental rights. But there is something on the horizon that could
undermine the work we have spent years preparing for: the filibuster.

[ [link removed] ]Join the thousands of People For members across the country who are
calling on Senate Democrats to put an END to the legislative
filibuster! >>

While Congressional Democrats were able to successfully shepherd through
COVID relief legislation, they were only able to do so using a procedural
method called reconciliation – a method that can’t be widely applied to
all legislation. Unless Senate Democrats put an end to the legislative
filibuster, critically important bills likely face a future where they
stall and die in the Senate.

These are bills like the For the People Act, which would strengthen our
democracy to ensure the government truly represents the interests of the
People; the Equality Act, which would extend federal discrimination
protections to the LGBTQ community; the John Lewis Voting Rights Act,
which would protect and strengthen our voting rights; the PRO Act, which
would strengthen workers’ rights, and so many other bills that would help
usher in a new era of progressivism. This legislation, which would deliver
a clear rebuke to the far-right movement that has attempted to enshrine
Trump and Trumpism into the American Way, will not see the light of day
unless we get rid of the filibuster.

We cannot allow the Far Right to hold progressive legislation hostage in
the Senate! It is urgent that the new Congress and administration be able
to enact legislation that the American people elected them to advance.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and send a clear message to Senate Democrats: end
the legislative filibuster! >>

If we are unsuccessful in putting an end to the filibuster it may spell
disaster for many of our greatest legislative proposals and we CANNOT let
that happen.

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
