John,
As we watch attack after attack on voting rights around the country, it’s clear that we need federal legislation to protect our democracy. If we are going to pass the For the People Act through Mitch McConnell’s filibuster, we cannot stop fighting.
I hope you can join us on Wednesday, July 21 at 8 pm ET for our virtual event “How We'll Pass the For the People Act: A Conversation with Senator Merkley.” Senator Merkley will join us to discuss the state of the bill and how we can push it over the finish line to root out dark money, expand the right to vote, and create a fair and just democracy. Sign up today to join us!
As we’ve said before, failure is not an option. The Trump wing of the GOP has already made it clear that their 2022 strategy runs through suppressing voters (targeting Black and Brown voters especially), rigging legislative districts, and refusing to accept the outcome of any elections they lose.
The For the People Act is the only comprehensive, federal solution to shut this strategy down. And if we don’t pass it now -- alongside the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act -- we might not get another chance for these bold voting rights, anti-gerrymandering, and pro-transparency solutions.
I hope you can join us for a conversation with Senator Merkley about how we can push the For the People Act across the finish line and make it the law of the land!
Thanks for all you do,
Christine Bass, For the People Act Digital Organizer
and the team at Common Cause
