Republicans know they can only stay in power when they rig the rules

Indivisibles,

Big news just broke:

“Every week, a group of nearly 100 conservative leaders convene for a 30-minute strategy call on a single issue: How to combat Democrats’ sweeping legislation to change the way federal elections are conducted.

Two weeks ago, the keynote briefer was Sen. Mitch McConnell, who made it crystal clear that defeating the “For the People Act” is his top priority of this two-year legislative session.” 1

Every new development in the GOP’s opposition to democracy reform makes it clearer -- they’re threatened by the prospect of a truly representative system, because they know they can only stay in power when they rig the rules. And they’re going to keep cheating to try to defeat S. 1 and other democracy bills.

We’ve beaten them before. We have the people on our side -- polls show that people across the political spectrum support the provisions in the For the People Act -- and we have the skills and know-how to get it done. But that doesn’t mean it’ll happen without a fight. That’s where you come in: from hosting call pages to developing and placing digital, print, and radio ads to providing event signs, flags and merch, and organizer support, our work to win transformative democracy reform costs money. And unlike dark-money-funded conservative groups, we rely on small donors like you to make it happen. Click here to make a $10 donation right now to defeat McConnell’s plans, pass the For the People Act, and empower all our work in this crucial trifecta year.

This fight is about undoing the injustices that have been built into our democratic system over the last few centuries. Making it simpler to vote, making it easier to run for office, making cash flow more transparent -- these are all reforms that will rebalance power in this country in favor of the people, where it always should have been. McConnell’s opposition is just another sign that we’re on the right side -- and it means that we’re going to need to fight harder than ever to get it all done. Time is short, and the time is now. Thanks for joining us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
