Dear John, 

Our democracy is in crisis and it requires immediate action. Young people are critical players in our democracy and we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make some noise and fight for sorely needed voting reforms in the form of the For the People Act!

Join us for a virtual event featuring young activists (like you) and a surprise TikTok creator for a call on the Senate to pass the For The People Act before August Recess. State legislators Rep. London Lamar (TN), Rep. Park Cannon (GA), and Rep. Anna Eskamani (FL) will also be in the house. We’re also urging President Biden to use all powers at his disposal to ensure young Americans are able to participate in our democracy.

Tune in: Friday, August 6 at 12 noon E.T.

Millennials and Gen Zers are coming together this week for #RecessCanWait Week of Action to urge the Senate to pass this critical voting bill. The movement we built is gaining momentum, and you can join us. There’s not much time: we need to make sure legislators prioritize this bill over their August vacations. 

Come for the #RecessCanWait & #ForthePeopleAct conversation and stay for the collective action! 

See you soon, 

Edwith Theogene
