Topic: The filibuster
Republicans are using the filibuster to stop Democrats from investigating the January 6th riots, protecting voting rights, getting dark money out of politics, and more.
That’s why we’re on-the-ground working to put pressure on incumbent Democrats who refuse to act — and to elect more Democrats who know the filibuster has to go.
Please, support our work by donating $10 before our end of month deadline, and check out why top Democrats have signed onto getting rid of the filibuster.

I happen to think that at the end of the day, to deliver for working people, we have got to end the filibuster.

We can preserve the filibuster, or we can preserve the voting rights of people of color. But we can't do both.

We have a responsibility to show people in this country what a Democratic majority can do for working people.
That means more generous relief checks, $15 min wage, ending the filibuster to protect our democracy. It’s a once-in-generation shot, and we need to legislate like it.

Democrats promised to fight for families who are struggling. The idea that we would go back on those promises to give Mitch McConnell a veto over our whole agenda is just fundamentally wrong. We have to get rid of the filibuster.

The right to vote is sacred. The Senate filibuster is not.

Top Democrats are working to end the filibuster. Put pressure on those who refuse to act, by chipping in ahead of our Sunday deadline. We need to raise another $2,802 or we’ll have to make cuts to our nationwide operations.
