Hey John,

Right now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to transform our democracy into one that is truly for and by the people. Because of advocates like you, the House of Representatives passed transformative leglsation and now we need the Senate to get on board, strengthen our democracy, and make it work for all Americans.

Last week, the For the People Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate as S.1, indicating this legislation a top priority.

Today the Senate will hold its first hearing on this groundbreaking legislation. We need you to make your voice heard right now.

Email the Senate today—tell them to pass the “For the People Act!” 

If enacted, the For the People Act would:

• increase fair access to the ballot box, making it easier, not harder to vote;
• end the dominance of big money in politics; and
• ensure public officials actually work in the interest of the public.

The “For the People Act” is a bill that includes multiple policy solutions to build a stronger democracy that will more fairly represent all people, including marginalized communities that often have been kept from realizing the American dream. We cannot make progress on the issues that we care about most until we fix our rigged system to serve the people, instead of powerful special interests and wealthy donors.

All of us can play a role in getting this bold democracy package through the Senate and on President Biden’s desk.

Email your Senator to demand they pass the FOR THE PEOPLE ACT.

Thanks for making your voice heard,

Edwith Theogene
