Jack, the freedom to vote is being ruthlessly attacked in a coordinated effort by GOP-controlled state legislatures. The attacks are so extreme that Texas state Democrats fled their state—despite the risk of arrest—to prevent Republicans from further suppressing the vote.
Though they have taken some of the most bold action we've seen to protect our democracy, they are not alone. State legislators all over America are holding the line as best as they can, but they need Congress to step up and end this assault on voters.
On Tuesday, August 3rd from 12-2pm ET, state legislators from across the country will lead a rally outside the Capitol. At the Recess Can Wait - Our Democracy Can't rally they will join everyday voters like you and demand that Congress stay in session until they pass the For the People Act.

The For the People Act must be signed into law before the end of summer in order to go into effect before the 2022 midterm elections, and to prevent Republicans from drawing hyper-partisan district maps that dilute Black and brown political power for the next decade.
The For the People Act will secure federal level voting rights protections, limit the power of big money in politics, and ensure fair congressional representation. The bill has already passed the House of Representatives, but so far has been blocked by Senate Republicans who are abusing the filibuster to disenfranchise voters across the country.
Congress must not leave for congressional recess without passing the For the People Act and getting it to President Biden's desk for signature!
