Did you see Pramila’s urgent email?
Nearly 70% of Americans support the For the People Act, including a majority of Republicans! Yet, Joe Manchin still believes that the pursuit of Republican votes in the Senate is more important than protecting voting rights — and our democracy.
We’ve had enough, and we agree with Pramila: It’s our popular agenda OR the filibuster. There’s no way around it.
It’s time to eliminate the filibuster, pass the For the People Act, and deliver for the millions of voters who delivered us the White House, the Senate, and the House. If you agree, rush a $3 donation today to fuel our urgent fight to end the filibuster, pass the For The People Act, and protect our democracy ASAP.

Subject: My response (Joe Manchin)
Senator Joe Manchin announced yesterday that he would vote AGAINST historic voting rights legislation AND oppose ending the filibuster so we can deliver for the people. He is putting the idea of bipartisanship — which Republicans have long abandoned — ahead of passing the For The People Act and protecting our democracy.
With Republicans passing dozens of coordinated voter suppression efforts in states across the country and doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote, we can’t stop fighting to protect our democracy.
From Georgia and Texas to Florida and states across America, Republicans are working overtime to restrict the right to vote. There is a clear, urgent, and popular solution: Passing the For the People Act. But we only have a few months to get it done in time for the 2022 elections. And with Joe Manchin, the filibuster, and Trump-Republicans in our way, we must put the pressure on right now.
Voters delivered us the House, the Senate, and the White House. Now, we must do everything in our power to protect voting rights — and our democracy. It’s clear: Senate Democrats MUST pass the For the People Act. Let’s build the grassroots movement to make it happen before it’s too late.
In solidarity,
Pramila
