This NPR headline today about the fight to protect voting rights should make every Democrat queasy: "Democrats' strategy may simply hinge on winning future elections" WHAT?!!

Every Democrat in Congress should be ALL IN to protect the right to vote NOW when it is under attack. This shows how critical it is that we keep the pressure on senators to do the one thing that will make passing the For The People Act possible -- REFORM THE FILIBUSTER.

We've teamed up with veterans group Common Defense to make this happen. Now, tens of thousands of people have signed on to veterans' message telling senators to pass the For The People Act.

Add your support here. Sign on to veterans’ message telling senators to pass the For The People Act and reform the filibuster to get the job done of protecting America’s democracy. (You do not need to be a veteran to sign.)

Veterans are trusted messengers in our communities. They are a group that many senators -- including Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema -- listen to. Amplifying veterans’ message will put pressure on our elected officials and help secure voting rights for all.

Veterans served this country to protect and defend American democracy -- not the filibuster.

But millions of disabled people, including many military veterans, will have their right to vote taken away by Republican-run state governments unless the Senate takes urgent action to guarantee early voting, mail-in voting, and other protections that enable Americans to vote.

Voter suppression hits America’s 4.7 million veterans with service-related disabilities particularly hard because many can’t stand in long lines or vote in crowded, chaotic polling places.

Like many other people with disabilities, veterans often depend on early voting and mail-in voting -- two top targets of Republican voter suppression laws that threaten to disenfranchise veterans from the democratic rights they sacrificed to defend.

Recent rulings show that this conservative Supreme Court won’t protect the right to vote or stand up to the corrosive influence of dark money on America’s democracy. That's why veterans are calling on the Senate to support voting rights and do everything in their power to pass the For the People Act — including ending the filibuster.

Together, tens of thousands of us have been taking action to protect voting rights -- calling senators, rallying in the streets, attending vigils, and more.

Now, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee -- alongside allies including the Progressive Reform Network, Daily Kos, The Juggernaut Project, Progress America, Integrity First Voter Action Project, The Six PAC, Iron PAC, Crazy Eight PAC, and People United PAC -- is proud to stand in solidarity with veterans group Common Defense telling Congress that all Americans deserve an equal voice in the elections that shape our future.

Join the tens of thousands of people co-signing veterans’ letter to senators and show that we stand together in solidarity. (You do not need to be a veteran to sign.)

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
