People For Member,
We expect the first Senate vote on the For the People Act NEXT WEEK!
This is the bill that would stop the new wave of far-right voter suppression state legislation, stop gerrymandering, stop billionaires and corporate interests from buying our elections, prevent corruption with stronger ethics rules, and generally make voting more accessible and more secure for generations.
Between now and the vote, we’re marshalling a massive groundswell of grassroots activity to ramp up pressure on both senators AND the Biden-Harris administration -- to use its unique influence and leverage to help pass the bill.
We're running ads in target states ... working with Black clergy from states facing new voter suppression laws on events in Washington and Senate lobby visits ... joining a Freedom Ride Bus Tour from Jackson, MI to Washington, DC starting this weekend ... and more.
People For members are leading the charge in the nationwide grassroots movement to save our democracy and pass the For the People Act and now it's crunch time!
We need another 298 donations TODAY to keep all this work going as we build towards next week's 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 make or break time.
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
