Indivisibles -- just as we were getting ready to send this email, Senate
Republicans voted against moving forward a bipartisan infrastructure bill
they helped to draft, using the filibuster to kill a bill that had
majority support! It's just another example of how McConnell and the
Republican party aren't negotiating in good faith and are just out to
block the will of the majority. We’re tired of watching this game, so
certainly Senate Democrats are getting tired of playing it. It's time to
pass bold bills without waiting on Republican votes that will never come.
Kill the filibuster so we can get to the business of governing. This is
getting ridiculous. - Indivisible Team
Indivisibles,
If the Senate doesn’t pass S.1 (the For the People Act) before they leave
for August recess, we’re in a boatload of trouble. Critical voter
protection reforms, limits on dark money, and fixes to gerrymandering are
all in the bill, and if it doesn’t pass before august recess, experts say
there won’t be enough time to implement those provisions before next
year’s election. We can’t let Mitch McConnell wield the Jim Crow
Filibuster to stop us.
That’s why we’re asking you: Can you call your senators and tell them to
abolish the filibuster to pass the For the People Act this month? If you
make a call today, we’ll even send you a free sticker as a thank you for
fighting for our democracy:

"filibuster" crossed out on them appear slowly. There is also a button
that reads "Call your Senator"
Republicans know that the filibuster is their best chance to stop this
bill -- it’s their favorite tool to stop progress on our priorities (but
of course, they’ve already abolished it to pass theirs!). That’s why it’s
up to us to make sure every Senator, including Democrats, knows the
American people demand this bill be passed and that we refuse to let an
antiquated, anti-civil-rights tactic get in the way.

on the red bar at the bottom after you call to order your free sticker.
There’s not much time to waste, but we know we’re up to the challenge:
we’ve won tough fights before, and if we all step up, we’ll win this one
too.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
