The For the People Act is in markup. Indivisibles,
You’ve already heard us talk about this bill over and over again, so we’re not going to bore you with the details. Today the For the People Act is being marked up in the Senate Rules Committee and we need you to call your Senator.
This is the first time this bill has ever been marked up in the Senate, so it’s a really important day to show all 100 Senators, no matter their party, how much support it has across the country.

Already up to speed? Call your Senator and tell them to support the For the People Act. Here’s what to do depending on your Senator:
- If they’ve already co-sponsored the bill (every Democrat except Joe Manchin), click here to call and tell them thank you, then urge them to speak out publicly about moving the bill urgently without letting the filibuster get in the way.
- For Republicans, click here to call and tell them you support this bill, you expect them to too, and you won’t forget how they vote on it.
- If you’re in West Virginia, use this customized script to tell Senator Manchin our democracy is at stake, and urge him to support the bill. Don’t forget to call back on the main Senate line when you’re done to reach Sen. Capito!
This bill is a must-pass if we want to make any long-term progress on our biggest priorities, and today is an historic moment and a chance for us to really show how much the American people care about passing it. Thanks in advance for all your hard work!
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
P.S. -- Once you’ve made your call, if you have a few bucks to spare, please consider donating to Indivisible Project. It may not seem like a lot, but even $3 could help fund web hosting for scripts like these or any number of other projects!
