The filibuster is simply another form of minority rule -- and the GOP will keep using it to prevent progress until we take it away

Indivisibles,

March recess is nearly upon us, and we know one thing for sure: to reach our goals on democracy reform (from passing the For the People Act in the Senate to making D.C. a state and more) and enable all our other progressive priorities, we have to remove one of our biggest roadblocks -- the filibuster. And that means building pressure on key senators in as many ways as we can while they’re home and listening to their constituents.

Newspaper ads like this one we just spent $15,000 on are only the start:

An image of a newspaper ad. Text reads "A bipartisan majority of Arizonans support the For the People Act to improve access to the ballot box, promote election integrity, and ensure election security. So why is Senator Kyrsten Sinema letting Mitch McConnell veto it? Demand Senator Sinema stand with Arizonans, not McConnell. Tell Sinema to: Eliminate the filibuster, Pass the For the People Act, and Save our democracy. Text 'Arizona' to 977-79. Call 1-877-847-4809. sinema.indivisible.org"

We’re also preparing to launch $10,000 worth of radio ads in target states in the next week alone. We’re budgeting hundreds of thousands for digital ads across platforms. And we’re working with local groups to support plans for other high-visibility tactics like billboards and provide merch for events to keep up the pressure.

It’s all part of our For the People Project to ensure lasting, transformative democracy reform. And it relies on support and engagement from the grassroots -- including the funding that keeps all our work running. Donate $10 to place print, radio, and digital ads, buy statement merchandise, and support pressure tactics -- it'll all help us eliminate the filibuster, implement real democracy reform, and win all our priorities.

The filibuster is an anti-democratic tool that’s been used for years to hold back progress on civil and human rights. Mitch McConnell and the GOP are intent on keeping it that way so they can block all our priorities (remember when McConnell called himself “the Grim Reaper” of progressive legislation?).

It’s simply another form of minority rule -- and as Republican policies become ever more unpopular, they’re going to be leaning on tactics like this even harder to retain their power. It’s time to stop them and build a democracy for the people.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

P.S. For a little more context on why democracy reform is so important, check out this article from Mother Jones on the massive wave of voter suppression bills rolling through states across the country -- and how senators like Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona refusing to eliminate the filibuster puts voting rights in their own states at risk.
