John,
The recent surge in anti-voter laws emerging from state legislatures around the country constitutes an attack on American democracy and the freedom to vote.
Passing new federal voting rights legislation is a top priority right now. President Biden must do everything in his power to get it done.
That's why on Tuesday, August 24, 12 pm ET, we will rally and protest in front of the White House and call on President Biden to do what it takes to compel the Senate to pass voting rights legislation NOW! Our goal is to demand bold action on voting rights by the Biden-Harris administration, including urging the Senate to end the filibuster to do so.
Please note that this will be a masked protest — we ask that you bring and wear your mask at all times and practice social distancing, keeping a 6-foot distance between yourself and others, as much as is possible during the event.
Our democracy is under attack and if we don’t work to save voting rights now, the consequences could be disastrous. I hope to see you at this important event where we will stand up and say--no more excuses: voting rights now!
Thanks for all you do,
Christine Bass, For the People Act Digital Organizer
and the team at Common Cause
