A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Member,

On Tuesday, the For the People Act failed to advance in the Senate on a
PARTY LINE VOTE – with all Democrats (including Sen. Joe Manchin of West
Virginia) uniting to defend voting rights and all Republicans using the
filibuster to block this vital reform package from even being debated.

This critical vote marks the beginning, not the end, of this fight in the
U.S. Senate.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), who chairs the Committee on Rules and
Administration, has already announced a series of hearings on key reforms
in the For the People Act, including a field hearing in Georgia where one
of the country’s most egregious Jim Crow-style voter suppression laws was
recently passed…

The Freedom Ride bus tour is still going – with stops coming up in West
Virginia (Sen. Manchin’s home turf) and Virginia before ending up in DC
with a massive rally even this weekend…

Our ads – in both English and Spanish – are running in Arizona, the state
of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who just published an op-ed stating her opposition
to ending the filibuster despite supporting the For the People Act as a
cosponsor…

And we’re ramping up grassroots pressure on the Senate all across the
country with rallies, teach-ins, activist trainings, and more!

Our democracy is on the line. The battlefield shifts slightly with every
new procedural vote, committee hearing, or compromise proposal floated by
senators like Joe Manchin … but, in the end, those few senators standing
in the way of ending the filibuster will have no choice but to acknowledge
that far-right, anti-democracy Republicans cannot be negotiated with and
that our democracy cannot be sacrificed on the altar of “bipartisanship”
or some arcane Senate rule.

filibuster, PASS the For the People Act, and SAVE our democracy!>>
