Friends -

I have an important request for you today. By now, you’ve probably heard the news that earlier this week, Democratic lawmakers in Texas walked out of their legislative session to put a stop to a sweeping voter suppression bill. Now under threat of arrest, they’ve brought their fight for voting rights to D.C. — and right now, they need our help.

All year, the Republican governor of Texas has been trying to pass some of the most restrictive anti-voter legislation in the country — directly targeting millions of people of color. But these Texas Democrats refused to let it happen. They left their state to stop their governor from silencing their constituents — but they can only hold out for so long.

That’s why I’m working together with these lawmakers to pass federal protections for voting rights — the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. And I’m asking for your support in the fight to make it happen.

Will you split a $3 contribution between the Texas Democratic Party and our campaign today? Grassroots support is critical to ensure we can pass federal voting rights legislation and defend democracy for all of our people, no matter where they live. [[link removed]]

The simple truth is that if we don’t pass bold and significant voting rights legislation now, Republicans around the country are going to continue attacking the right to vote. They’re going to silence the voices of millions of progressive voters — especially young people, working people, and people of color — and sabotage all the work our movement is doing to build a more just future. But we can stop them, so long as we stand together and fight back.

One thing that’s standing in our way? The Senate filibuster. Together with these lawmakers, fellow voting rights allies, and our progressive movement all across the country, I’m going to do everything in my power to abolish the filibuster so that we can get to work protecting voting rights for all.

That takes organizing power and resources, and it’s why I’m asking you today: Will you split a $3 contribution between the Texas Democratic Party’s fight for voting rights and our campaign’s efforts to build progressive power all across the country? [[link removed]]

The American people elected a Democratic trifecta in 2020 so that we could pass legislation and make real change in this country. It’s time to get it done.

Thank you in advance for your support today.

In solidarity,

Ed Markey
