[1]filiBUSTED Rally in DC to protest the filibuster. Thursday June 24 at 12 PM.

People For Member,

Last night, the Senate held a procedural vote to move the For the People
Act (S. 1) on to the floor for debate – a critical step in this
groundbreaking legislation’s path to being passed. Every Democrat in the
Senate voted to move the For the People Act forward, but the Republicans,
led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blocked that effort through a
filibuster.

Without changing the filibuster rule, which right now requires 60 votes to
pass any bill, the For the People Act cannot be passed. We’re taking
action to raise awareness of what’s at stake if the Senate does not
prevent the filibuster from blocking needed legislation.

Here are three things you can do to take action to BUST the filibuster:

 1. [ [link removed] ]Sign this petition demanding that the Senate immediately eliminate
the filibuster rule >>
 2. [ [link removed] ]RSVP now for virtual teach-ins, taking place TOMORROW and hosted by
our Declaration for American Democracy coalition, on how the
filibuster is harming everything from our environment to our civil
rights! >>
 3. [ [link removed] ]Share this Facebook post to urge your community to protest the
filibuster, too! >>

In the wake of this week’s Senate vote, it’s critical that we demonstrate
the overwhelming objection to the filibuster and support for the For the
People Act, which would protect our freedom to vote, ensure fair
representation in government, and end the dominance of big money in
politics.

We are at a pivotal moment for our democratic rights. The filibuster has
been repeatedly used to stifle the will of The People – please help us
tell the Senate: “Not again.”

Thank you for all that you do to protect our democracy.

In unity,

Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
