John,

Last week, the Texas House passed voter suppression bill SB 1, meaning the
bill is likely only days away from being signed into law by Governor
Abbott.

The passage of this bill reaffirms what many of us have known for a long
time: Republican leaders in this state would rather dismantle our
democracy than be held accountable for the more than 56,000 COVID deaths
that have taken place on their watch, our crumbling power grid that killed
over 700 Texans during the winter storm, and so many other examples of
their failed leadership.

But thanks to people like you, Powered by People has been able to push
back and build a movement focused on electing leaders that truly represent
the people of Texas. Every single day, our volunteers are registering new
voters and encouraging others in their communities to become Volunteer
Deputy Registrars so that they can do the same. We know that registering
voters is crucial to bringing more people into our democracy so that we
can build a better, more responsive government, and we wouldn’t be able to
do this work without the support of people like you.

Meeting this threat to our democracy will require pushing back on all
fronts — both here in Texas and in Washington, DC, where our federal
lawmakers have the power to pass voting rights legislation that would
override voter suppression laws like SB 1 in Texas and across the country.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed two critical bills — the For
the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Act — which have the potential
to stop voter suppression and save our democracy. But currently, both
bills face an uncertain future thanks to the Senate filibuster.

Powered by People has been doing the necessary work to bring thousands
upon thousands of people together to take to the streets, rally in front
of the state capitol, and keep the pressure up on President Biden to do
everything in his power to reform the filibuster to allow voting rights
legislation to pass. We will only be able to get this done if we bring
enough people together to call on President Biden to take action.

John, your
support allows Powered by People to continue fighting for our democracy on
all fronts. [ [link removed] ]Please, donate $3 or more to support our
work to register new voters, fight against voter suppression, and protect
our democracy.

Thank you for your support,

Kate Roberts
