John,
Our democracy is in crisis - extremist lawmakers have introduced over 400 anti-voter bills across the country this year alone, and these same lawmakers are now preparing to draw congressional maps that will effectively disenfranchise voters for the next decade.
Luckily, there is a solution for all of this: passing the For the People Act.
Join us for a “Let's Finish the Job: For the People” Rally on September 14 at 12pm outside of the U.S. Capitol to urge the Senate to protect our right to vote and deliver the For the People Act to the American people. Register here to join the “Let’s Finish the Job: For the People” Rally on 9/14!
We’ll be joined by special guests:
-
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)
-
Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR)
-
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
-
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)
-
U.S. Representative John Sarbanes (D-MD)
-
Martin Luther King III, Chairman, Drum Major Institute, global human rights activist
-
Arndrea Waters King, President, Drum Major Institute, social justice warrior and amplifier of women's voices
-
Reverend Al Sharpton, Baptist Minister, and political, civil rights, and social justice activist
-
Texas State Representative Trey Martinez Fischer (D-TX)
-
Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers
The
For the People Act will create national standards for voting in federal elections, ensure fair congressional districts, limit the power of big money in politics, and help realize the promise of democracy for all. We are closer than ever to passing this historic legislation, and we need your help to get it over the finish line.

Thank you for the work that you do.
