This is
unprecedented.

More than 100 top political scientists and democracy scholars just issued
a joint statement to express their “growing alarm” about “the recent
deterioration of U.S. elections and liberal democracy”.

They all agree: Trump’s crusade to delegitimize the 2020 presidential
election, combined with the GOP’s state-level efforts to suppress voting
in Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Montana and Texas, “call
into question whether the United States will remain a democracy”.

These aren’t the words of online pundits or partisan talking
heads. Leading experts on
how democracies survive – and how they fail – are issuing an urgent call
to action to Congress: Do whatever is necessary to pass federal voting
rights protections, including and not limited to ending the filibuster.

Add your name to my petition now: [ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to protect our
democracy. Pass the For the People Act (H.R. 1) now, even if it means
abolishing the filibuster.

It is easy to take for granted that we live in a nation where the
candidate or party who receives the most votes wins the election. But the
fact of the matter is, Republicans are openly subverting this cornerstone
of democracy.  

It’s also true that once democracies break down, the downward spiral is
difficult to reverse – and minority rule quickly becomes entrenched. Even
in the United States of America.

We can’t sit back and hope for things to improve. The stakes are simply too high. We must
amplify this urgent new warning from the academic community and do
everything in our power to fight for the For the People Act.

[ [link removed] ]Sign my petition now to demand Congressional action on H.R. 1 before
Republicans damage our democracy beyond repair.

Keep fighting,

Ro
