Make sure your Senator knows you support this. 🗳️
I have an update for you on this. As you saw, the For the People Act passed through the House of Representatives. Now it's officially on its way to the Senate—there's a hearing on it next week Wednesday!
Democracy is connected to many important issues young people care about. If we are ever going to see progress on these issues, we must have a democracy that responds to the needs and priorities of voters—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.
This is where you come in. We need to make sure your Senator knows you support this. And if you've already emailed your Senator, forward this to five friends who are just as ready for change as you are.
With a hearing on the For the People Act taking place in the Senate NEXT WEEK, now's the time to let them know. Tell your Senators to support the For the People Act today. [[link removed]]
Thanks for all you do,
Charlotte

Hey John,
CONGRATULATIONS! You did it. We, the people, are seizing power unlike ever before. Thank you for speaking up, calling your Representative, and taking action to get the House to pass H.R. 1, the For The People Act.
It is a once-in-a-generation package of proven democratic reforms. Now, we’re one step closer to:
*
Getting
big
money
out
of
politics.
*
Making
voting
simpler,
safer,
and
fairer.
*
Holding
public
officials
accountable.
The House has spoken, now we need the Senate to act. [[link removed]] If passed into law, the For the People Act would transform our political system into one that is more inclusive, responsive, and representative of the American people.
TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]
The American people are tired of a government that serves only the wealthy and corporate interests. You joined us in demanding a democracy that works for all of us, and we made Congress listen.
We need a democracy where voters are protected from discrimination and can make themselves heard at the ballot box. A democracy where electoral districts are drawn fairly, so that every voter’s ballot is of equal value. A democracy that isn't bought and paid for by the highest corporate bidder. And a democracy where ordinary Americans—more women, people of color, and working people—can run for office without relying on big corporate dollars.
Just imagine what we could accomplish this year and beyond if our government actually worked for us. Take action now to make sure the Senate passes the #ForThePeopleAct too!
Email your Senator to demand they pass the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT. [[link removed]]
