Indivisibles,

This is it. We're no longer talking in hypotheticals: Right now, Mitch
McConnell and a minority of Republican senators are filibustering the
formation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly
insurrection that unfolded at the Capitol on January 6.

They're filibustering despite the fact this bill received 35 Republican
votes in the House.

They're filibustering despite the fact that Democrats made changes to the
bill to earn their support.

They're filibustering because this is exactly what the filibuster was
designed to do: serve as a weapon that a minority of senators can wield to
veto popular legislation with majority support.

We're not surprised. We're furious. And now, we’ve got to get loud.

Right now, Republicans are using the Jim Crow filibuster not just to stand
in the way of investigating the events of January 6 -- they’re using it to
block essential democracy reform legislation like S. 1, the For the People
Act -- all while Republican state legislatures across the country are
passing hundreds of sweeping voter suppression laws that will make it
harder for people to vote and have a say in our democracy.

No more.

Senator McConnell is showing us (again) who he really is, swatting away
every attempt at good faith bipartisan work, and committing his caucus to
partisan obstruction. For any senator hoping to appeal to Republicans’
better angels, today should be a wake-up call.

The choice is clear: save democracy or save the Jim Crow filibuster. But
we can’t do both.

[ [link removed] ]Stop what you’re doing right now and make a call to both your senators.
Tell them to eliminate the filibuster to pass critical democracy reforms.

We don’t have time to waste.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

P.S. We're spending $710,000 to build pressure on senators and members
of Congress with call pages, newspaper ads, radio spots, writing
resources, and more. And we need your help to make this work possible:
[ [link removed] ]chip in right now to help us eliminate the filibuster once and for
all and support all our work to reform our democracy, implement
massively needed democracy reform, and make all our progressive
priorities possible.
