John,

Our organizing works. When we made it very clear to the establishment that we would not accept them using the filibuster as an excuse to block voting rights and prevent reducing big money in politics, they very quickly started talking about how “open” they are to changing the filibuster.

John, that didn’t happen by accident. It happened because we are organizing in West Virginia, Arizona, and anywhere else represented by a “centrist” Democrat who is willing to let the GOP block the _For the People Act_.

THANKS TO OUR ORGANIZING AND PRESSURE, DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IS MOVING FORWARD WITH INTRODUCING THE _FOR THE PEOPLE ACT_ IN ITS ENTIRETY. WITH THE GOP SET TO FILIBUSTER AND READY TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO RESTRICT VOTING RIGHTS, WE ARE ABOUT TO ENTER A CRITICAL MOMENT FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

our pressure has worked so far, but the Democratic establishment is beholden to many of the same donors who are so opposed to expanding voting rights and getting big money out of politics. That’s why we need your support before our critical end-of-quarter deadline. Can we count on you to chip in now to help us expand our organizing work to keep up the pressure and defend our democracy?

S.R.1, the For the People Act, was introduced in the Senate this week and addresses voter intimidation and suppression, gerrymandering, dark money, and ethics laws to ensure government works for the people.

Passing S.R.1 is urgent, as GOP lawmakers across the country are pushing baseless election fraud claims in order to pass laws that restrict voter access — 253 bills in 43 states have already been introduced.

Senator Jeff Merkley, an S.R. 1 sponsor, said: “Every American — regardless of the color of their skin, where they live, or how much money they have — deserves a seat at the table and an equal voice in their government. If you really believe in the vision of our republic, you believe in voter empowerment, not voter suppression.”

IF YOU AGREE WITH SENATOR MERKLEY, PITCH IN HERE TO HELP US KEEP UP THE FIGHT TO ENSURE THAT CORPORATE DEMOCRATS SIDE WITH AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AND DON’T ALLOW GOP VOTER SUPPRESSION SCHEMES TO DESTROY OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT! [link removed]
In solidarity,

The whole team at Our Revolution
