John,
The U.S. Senate just filibustered the For the People Act — putting a hold on the bill that would save our democracy and that over two-thirds of Americans support.
The obstructionist senators filibustering this desperately-needed bill are cowards. They're hiding behind the filibuster to stop the Act from even getting the vote it deserves. But rest assured, John: the For the People Act is not dead. This fight is just beginning.
Join us on Thursday, June 24th at 6pm ET for a strategy call about the For the People Act and what comes next in the fight to pass it. We’ll give you the latest info on what the filibuster today means for the Act, and how we can work together to pass it.
- When: Thursday, June 24th at 6pm ET / 3pm PT
- Where: Right from your computer! RSVP to receive a Zoom link for the call.
- What: A strategy call to get the latest updates on the For the People Act and the path to passing it post-filibuster
On the call, you'll hear from RepresentUs staff, including Damon Effingham (Director of Federal Reform), James Jameson (Deputy Mobilization Director), and Ben Levinsohn (National Organizer). We'll answer your questions about what happened on the Senate floor, talk through what’s next for this campaign, and plug you in to the fight to pass this transformational bill.
If there’s one thing we've learned, it’s that the pressure we’re putting on the Senate is working. Key Senator Joe Manchin previously announced he would vote NO on this bill, only to walk this threat back and say he would consider passing it after all. Now we’re entering a new phase in this campaign: Getting it past the filibuster.
And that all starts this Thursday, June 24th at 6pm ET. RSVP right now to secure your spot and learn about the next phase of the campaign to pass the For the People Act.
We always knew this wouldn’t be easy. But with folks like you behind this push to save our democracy, we can succeed.
Thank you,
|
Damon Effingham Director, Federal Reform RepresentUs
