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 end the filibuster. The filibuster is an antiquated, racist procedural
tool that’s been used to block critical legislation for decades.

That’s why Cori is helping lead the fight to end the filibuster. Last
month, she 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.

[ [link removed] ]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.

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 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.

[ [link removed] ]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 call for an end to the
filibuster?

End the filibuster →

In solidarity,
Team Cori
