A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.
***********************
People For Member,
We just hosted a rally on Capitol Hill -- including roughly a dozen of our
allies in Congress like Sens. Raphael Warnock and Elizabeth Warren -- and
delivered more than 330K signatures to the Senate calling for passage of
the For the People Act.
We expect a vote in the Senate in just two weeks and, between now and
then, we’re marshalling a massive groundswell of grassroots activity to
ramp up pressure on both senators AND the White House.
The freedom to vote is under attack like it has not been since the rise of
Jim Crow. Our moment to defend the vote is right now. The cost of inaction
by our leaders in Washington could be our democracy itself. We CAN win
this fight.
But it’s going to take serious movement organizing. So we’re organizing
activists and People For network members in Senate target states …
mobilizing and supporting Black church leaders from key states (including
those like Georgia that are on the front lines of the Far Right’s attacks
on voting) … running ads, and more.
People For members are stepping up big time, but we still need to raise
another $23,035 in just the next 48 hours to keep it all going.
[ [link removed] ]Please chip in now to pass the For the People Act and STOP the Far
Right’s all-out assault on our democracy and the right to vote>>
We’re demanding that every leader who’s with us use every tool at their
disposal, every bit of influence and leverage they have, to knock down the
Senate filibuster and PASS the For the People Act.
And we’re going to move those Democrats who are standing in the way of
ending the filibuster and saving our democracy by making it undeniably
clear to them and their constituents that Americans of all political
stripes overwhelmingly support the For the People Act…
…That Americans embrace the reforms it contains that would stop the
partisan power grabs, the racist voter suppression, the Big Money takeover
of our elections, and the other subversions of our democracy being pushed
by far-right legislators across the country, fueled by Trump’s Big Lie
about the 2020 election…
…That the stubborn partisan extremism of Republicans in Congress is NOT a
legitimate reason to block a bill that has popular bipartisan support
among the People…
Are you with us? Your support and your actions have gotten us this far and
have given us tremendous momentum. Now it’s crunch time.
[ [link removed] ]Will you please dig deep and donate as generously as you can right now
to PASS the For the People Act and save our democracy?
The only way we win is if we all do our part, so I’m calling on you to
stand with us to defend the vote and pass the historic reforms needed to
save American democracy.
Thank you for everything.
-- Ben Jealous, President
