John,

Last week, we asked you to share your story about how corruption impacts
you and why fixing democracy can't wait. We also invited local members to
drop banners in their cities, sending a loud, public message to their
lawmakers. The response has been overwhelming. [ [link removed] ]If you haven’t already,
share your own story here, and read on to see what others have said.

These powerful, personal stories are extremely effective at influencing
politicians. They stick in lawmakers’ minds, tug on their hearts, and
remind them just how dedicated their constituents are to ending corruption
and passing the For the People Act.

But don’t take our word for it — check out these stories and pictures from
RepresentUs members around the country.

Represent Bay Area members, lead by Amari McGaha [center, left], hit the
Downtown Commons in Sacramento and marched their banner to the California
State Capitol.

“Our system of legalized political bribery lies at the root of all of
America's problems. Corporations and billionaires openly bribe our
politicians to do their bidding while they and their bought and paid for
politicians sit back laughing at the rest of us. It needs to end!” — Ron J
Dupard, RepresentUs Member

Represent Omaha volunteers marched through the streets with a For the
People Act banner during a voting rights march in Nebraska.

“I live in West Virginia. We have had every major industry in our state,
coal in the mountains, steel in the panhandle, oil in the hills and
plastics in the Ohio valley. Every time, the politicians promise good jobs
and prosperity but every time, the big lobbyists come in and make deals
until there is no revenue for our state. Our roads and bridges are
crumbling, our schools are falling behind and we can't ensure basic
services like broadband internet are available to everyone. Ending
corruption would mean making it possible for people in my state to get a
voice.” — Ethan Kirl, RepresentUs Member

Members of the Represent San Diego chapter, lead by Dan McClain and Amy
Tobia, march through Plaza de Panama Fountain near Balboa Park.

“Why do I have an issue with corruption? It's simple. I want to be able to
trust those who are supposed to represent all of us to do what we ask them
to do. Democracy is about the many, not the few. Corruption cares about
the selfish needs of the corrupt and nothing more.” — Steven Kramer,
RepresentUs Member

Americans are organizing across the country and amping up the pressure on
our lawmakers — but we need to keep up the pressure. If you haven’t yet,
[ [link removed] ]tell us why fixing corruption is important to you. We’ll share your
story with Congress to remind politicians that there are real Americans
everywhere whose lives are impacted by our corrupt political system.

Democracy can’t wait.

Thank you for sharing your story with us,

Jen Johnson
[6]Jen Movement Director
