Friend,
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives took the momentous step of passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (HR4), a crucial piece of legislation that will protect Americans’ freedom to vote and protect our democracy for all voters. Now, as we celebrate this victory, we need you to call your Senators at 833-465-7142 to say that the Senate must take immediate action to pass HR4, along with S1, the For the People Act.
We applaud Speaker Pelosi and the House of Representatives, and Representatives Sewell, Nadler, Butterfield, and Cohen for making voting rights a top priority. The passage of this landmark legislation was also made possible by the thousands of volunteers and organizers who have worked tirelessly to engage and educate voters—thank you for your dedication and commitment.
With the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the For the People Act, Congress has a once-in-a-decade chance to protect voters from partisan gerrymandering, stop voter suppression in its tracks, and ensure voters’ voices are heard. In 2021 alone, over 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in 49 state legislatures across the country—the need for HR4 and S1 to protect the freedom to vote for all eligible Americans has never been more clear, or more urgent.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would establish processes to prevent states from implementing discriminatory voting rules, and the For the People Act would establish minimum national standards that ensure the freedom to vote is accessible for all eligible Americans. Together, the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are key tools in protecting the freedom to vote across the country—particularly for voters of color.
Every call you, your friends, or your family members made to your Representative helped ensure that this landmark legislation advanced today. Take some time to catch your breath and celebrate—and then keep calling your Senators at 833-465-7142. Thank you for staying in the fight—it continues in the Senate!
Thank you for all you do,
