Hi John,

Last week, volunteers banded together in nearly 30 cities across America
as part of our Democracy Can't Wait Week of Action to amp up the pressure
on Congress to pass the For the People Act. From crafting parties to
barbeques, petition drives to DIY mobile billboards, volunteers got
creative – and thousands more took action online.

Thank you to the super-volunteers who organized events on short notice!

These grassroots tactics showed Senators that voters care about the For
the People Act and want them to pass it. And they happened because of the
nearly 3,000 members of the RepresentUs Common Wealth, who donate a gift
each month to make events like the Week of Action possible.

But we know obstructionists in Congress are willing to do anything to stop
this bill – and they continued to stall the Senate last week,
filibustering the Act once again before going on recess. That’s why it’s
so important that we have a reserve of funds that we can use to mobilize
folks at a moment’s notice.

In order to apply pressure where and WHEN it's most effective, RepresentUs
has to act FAST – often within an hour or two of breaking news. Monthly
donors allow us to fast-track money to tactics that can't wait (even for
an email to you, asking for urgent donations).

your donation goes directly to frontline democracy defense, not overhead*.

Common Wealth donors build a sustainable, nimble movement that can respond
quickly when politicians decide to do something sneaky... which it turns
out, is unfortunately pretty often.

Whether you can pledge $100 or $10 per month, we’ll put your money right
to work.

Can’t make a donation right now but still want to fight corruption with
us? [ [link removed] ]Join our National Phone Bank tonight, Tuesday, August 17th, 5:30 PM
- 8:00 PM ET. (First time phonebanking with RepresentUs? Don't worry, we
kick off every phonebank with a training at the top of the call on Zoom.)

The fight to save democracy takes all of us doing what we can, when we
can. If we do nothing, nothing changes.

With gratitude, 

James Jameson

*Don’t worry, another cadre of generous donors covers RepUs overhead
costs. So you can [ [link removed] ]give a monthly gift to frontline work without
worrying if we can do critical and deeply uncool things like pay our
insurance premiums and buy ink for the copier. Thanks for looking out.
