And we have to eliminate the filibuster to make it happen

Headline from the Washington Post that reads, After defeating restrictive voting bill, Texas Democrats send loud message: 'We need Congress to do their part'

Indivisibles,

Did you see this? On Sunday, Democratic state lawmakers in Texas had to take the extraordinary step of walking off the state House floor to prevent the GOP from passing a massive voter suppression package. And now they’re begging for federal voting rights protections to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

This is just the latest evidence that passing the For the People Act in the Senate is crucial to ensure the integrity of our democracy nationwide. And Friday’s events showed us that as long as the Jim Crow filibuster remains in place, Mitch McConnell has everything he needs to stop it from happening.

Our For the People Project is our big plan to build a better democracy for the people -- by eliminating the filibuster and passing major legislation like the For the People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, D.C. statehood, and more. We’re spending $710,000 on hosting call pages, updating policy resources, running ads, and more to make it happen, and we need your help. Click here to donate $10 today to eliminate the filibuster, pass democracy reform and all our progressive priorities, and power all our work this year.

Republicans -- in Congress and in states across the country -- are waging an all-out war on voting rights and the very foundations of our democracy. We only have a few short weeks left to fight back and pass crucial democracy reform legislation before the August deadline. That means it’s time for Indivisibles to do what we do best: jump into action. Join us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

P.S. -- Another way you can have a major impact on this fight is to keep calling your senators to demand that they eliminate the filibuster to save our democracy. As long as this anti-democratic bastion remains in place, all our democracy reform priorities and everything else we care about will be stalled in the Senate. Click here to call your senators today, and keep calling every day until we win this fight.
