People For Member,
As far-right legislators in Texas attempt to ram through a series of bills
that would drastically restrict the right to vote in the state, Texas
Democrats are fighting back.
After staging a walkout in May to block these bills from passing,
Democratic legislators have continued the fight by leaving the state
during the special session that was called by Gov. Abbott – denying the
legislature the quorum needed to conduct business.
Now, those Texas Democrats have come to Washington, DC as they make their
case to Senate Democrats to break the filibuster and protect the right to
vote in Texas and across the country.
[ [link removed] ]Join us in thanking those Texas Democrats for protecting democracy in
their home state and for joining the national outcry for Senate Democrats
to act immediately to protect our right to vote! >>
With hundreds of bills that have been introduced in 48 states across the
nation seeking to restrict the right to vote, the growing urgency in
stopping these at the federal level cannot be overstated.
Congress has the power to mitigate these attacks by passing the For the
People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Act, but some have been hesitant
to eliminate the filibuster in order to get this legislation passed.
We must keep up the pressure – especially on the few holdout Democrats in
the Senate – and demand that they acknowledge the urgency of the moment
and get these bills passed now, before it’s too late!
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now and urge Congress to act immediately to stop
these attacks on voting rights! >>
Thank you for joining us in the fight to protect our voting rights!
Zach, People For the American Way
