It’s time to end the filibuster, John.
Democrats now control the House, Senate, and White House because of the courage, fierce organizing, and hope of millions of Americans. We organized for years to make these victories possible because our communities are aching for a government that centers the needs of everyday people in their policies.
But the harsh reality is that this kind of progress is impossible unless we abolish the filibuster. The filibuster is an antiquated, racist procedural tool that’s been used to block critical legislation for decades.
That’s why this morning Cori held a press conference at the Capitol and delivered a letter co-signed by nearly 100 House Democrats demanding that the Senate end the Jim Crow filibuster.
Will you add your name to support Cori’s call to eliminate the Jim Crow filibuster? Cori is an organizer at heart and has built a massive coalition with the momentum to finally end the filibuster, but it's critical she has your support in this fight. [[link removed]]

Here’s the truth: In today’s hyper-partisan climate, there is simply no avenue to pass bold legislation that meets the needs of everyday Americans without ending the filibuster.
Far too many impactful pieces of legislation have died in the Senate just because a handful of Republicans would rather play political games and use the filibuster to obstruct progress. We saw this happen the other week when Congress and President Biden failed to act on one of their core promises of increasing the federal minimum wage to $15.
Everything in our progressive agenda from passing at least a $15 minimum wage, voting rights, climate and environmental justice, gun violence prevention, immigration reform, worker protections, and reforming our criminal-legal system — hinges on ending the filibuster.
We must end the gridlock that has become common practice in Washington and govern boldly and transformatively to improve the lives of millions of people, children, and families all across the country. For too many people in our communities, their very survival is at stake.
It’s time we rise up against the filibuster and do what it takes to meaningfully legislate for the needs of the people we represent. If you’re with Cori in this fight, will you add your name to co-sign the letter she’s sending to Senate Democrats? [[link removed]]
