It's our democracy or the filibuster,
John.

Yesterday, House Democrats voted to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights
Advancement Act in a party-line vote. This crucial legislation would
restore parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and protect against GOP voter
suppression laws being passed around the country.

Progress is happening, but to be frank with you, it shouldn't be this
difficult to guarantee everyone has the right to vote in our country.
Currently, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is headed to the
same fate as legislation including the For the People Act, PRO Act, Dream
Act, Equality Act, and Paycheck Fairness Act: Being stalled in the Senate
thanks to the filibuster.

Let's make this clear,
John: The filibuster must go
because as long as Conservative Democrats and Senate Republicans refuse to
end it, people's voting rights — and lives — are at risk.



It's more important than ever that we put our support behind Cori as she
leads the movement to end the filibuster in the face of unending attacks
from the far-right. [ [link removed] ]Will you make a $5 donation today

To keep the filibuster in place is to reinforce the antiquated and racist
reasons it was introduced in the first place. That's why it's especially
disappointing that it's not just the typical Republican obstructionists
defending the filibuster — Conservative Democrats are also refusing to
take action and end the Jim Crow filibuster.

Everything in our progressive agenda from passing a minimum wage of at
least $15, environmental justice, gun violence prevention, immigration
reform, worker protections, and transforming our criminal-legal system —
hinges on ending the filibuster.

We must end the gridlock that has become common practice in Washington and
govern boldly and transformatively to improve the lives of millions of
people, children, and families all across the country. For too many of our
communities, our very survival is at stake.

It's time we rise up against the filibuster and do what it takes to
meaningfully legislate for the needs of St. Louis and communities like it.

Cori's organizing work to abolish the filibuster, protect voting rights,
and pass progressive legislation?

In solidarity,

Team Cori
