The Jim Crow filibuster stands in the way of progress.

Indivisibles,

It’s #FilibusterFriday!

Every Friday, Indivisible groups and activists, and our partners and allies across the country join forces from 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET (10 am - 11 am PT) to get loud online and make it clear that it’s time for the Jim Crow Filibuster to go. 

You can click here to read our full resource on the filibuster, but in short, it gives a minority of senators — Republican senators who represent 41 million fewer people than Senate Democrats — the power to prevent the Congress we elected from passing critical legislation. With Republicans across the country attacking the right to vote, our climate changing, and hatred growing, we don’t have time to let Republicans stop our majority from making meaningful change. It’s quite literally anti-democratic. 

Here’s what we need you to do to help end the filibuster: 

  1. Pick your favorite issue (Voting rights in the For the People Act or Protecting Workers’ Rights or DC statehood or Unrigging the Supreme Court or the COVID Recovery Package are all good options!) and call your senator to tell them you expect them to pass it -- including abolishing the filibuster to get it done.
  2. Check out this #FilibusterFriday digital toolkit and pick a few ways to share your opposition to the filibuster around lunchtime today. You can make a video, share on Facebook, tweet at your senator, or share our video on why the filibuster has got to go.
  3. If you’re able, donate $3 to fund Indivisible Project, including our work to end the filibuster. The costs for videos, websites and call tools, not to mention newspaper and radio ads and staff time all add up -- we’re spending over $700,000 fighting for democracy this year alone! 

We hope you’ll join us today (Friday) from 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET to tell your senators it’s time to protect the future of our democracy, not a procedural relic from the past. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
