John,
A few hours from now, the U.S. Senate will vote on whether to begin debate on the For the People Act — a landmark piece of voting rights legislation that would reform our democracy and expand access to the right to vote.
But Mitch McConnell has already vowed that his GOP will reject the bill — and with the Jim Crow filibuster still in place, this vote is now doomed to fail.
What *could have been* the most significant election reform bill in decades is now destined to die in this 50-50 Senate. But it doesn't have to be this way, John. Abolishing the filibuster would open the door for the passage of urgent feminist priorities like the For the People Act, which is why Women's March is sounding the alarm and organizing our volunteers to pressure Senate Democrats to end the racist filibuster.
Our democracy cannot be allowed to remain in the hands of Mitch McConnell and his years-long legacy of obstruction — and now we're coming to you because we urgently need your help to turn up the pressure. Please rush an emergency $3 donation to Women's March to support our advocacy work to abolish the filibuster, end McConnell's stranglehold on the Senate, and fight tirelessly for our feminist priorities.
Let's make this clear: Bipartisanship is impossible with a party that continues to falsely claim election fraud, is excusing an outright attempted insurrection, and denies us our most basic democratic rights.
We cannot allow obstructionists like Mitch McConnell to block the progress we've fought so hard for. But that is exactly what he's vowed to do — not only with the For the People Act, but with ANY urgent priorities for our feminist movement.
Just look at what he's said about obstructing Biden's potential nominees to the Supreme Court:
This has got to stop. Women's Marchers are getting organized and ready to fight to abolish the Jim Crow filibuster and end McConnell's obstructionist reign in the Senate once and for all. But this work isn't possible without your financial support, John.
Together,
Women’s March
