Dear John,

Republican-controlled state legislatures have introduced over 361 voter suppression bills in 47 states, and some states, like Georgia, have already enacted them into law.

These bills are egregious. They shrink early voting periods, add onerous voter ID requirements, limit eligibility for mail-in ballots, ban ballot drop boxes and drive-thru voting, and even make it a crime to give voters in line water.

There’s only one way to stop this assault on our democracy. It’s called the For the People Act, and the window for Congress to pass it is closing.

Our latest video breaks down why passing this crucial legislation must be Democrats’ top priority.

This is not a partisan fight.

It’s a battle between forces that want to go backward to an era of Jim Crow, and the majority of Americans who want to build a more inclusive democracy.

Yet the bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate because of the archaic filibuster rule that requires a 60-vote supermajority to pass legislation.

The good news is Senate Democrats have the power to end the filibuster and thereby allow the For the People Act to become law. It’s time for Democrats to unite on this, without hesitation. The stakes could not be higher.

Simply put, it’s democracy or authoritarianism.

Thanks for watching,
