John,

When asked recently about passing H.R. 1/S. 1, the historic voting rights legislation in Congress (also known as the For The People Act), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said this:

“I would say the deadline for S. 1 is … probably by August or so. We’re consulting with experts. When is the latest that S. 1 can undo some of the despicable and frankly racist changes that some of these Republican legislatures have made?”

That’s not only a deadline for passing critical voting protections for the entire country; it’s a deadline for getting rid of the filibuster — because we can’t pass S. 1 through the Senate without doing away with the archaic, racist filibuster.

Justice Democrats has been working hard with progressive lawmakers and groups like Sunrise Movement to end the filibuster. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and several other Democrats have voiced support for getting rid of it. But the clock is ticking, and we need to amp up the pressure on Senate Democrats.

John, free, fair, and accessible elections in 2022 are on the line. Can you join us, Bernie, Sen. Warren, and Sunrise Movement, in this push to get rid of the filibuster? Chipping in $3 or more supports our work to end the GOP minority rule.

Let’s get this done before it’s too late.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
