John -- After our message the other day, reports began to surface that President Biden is now willing to “push Manchin and Sinema” on filibuster reform.

 

At first this seemed like encouraging news. But after digging a little deeper, this effort (if it’s even true) is far, far from what is needed.

 

Let’s be clear about this: The Jim Crow filibuster is in the way of everything we need to do. If we don’t get rid of it we will never pass this infrastructure bill, voting rights, reproductive rights, or anything else.

 

Right now BNC is working to both expand the House progressive caucus AND elect three progressive Senators running for seats currently held by Republicans.

 

We need your support to make this happen. We’re still about $5,500 short of our mid-month fundraising target. Can you pitch in any amount right now to get us caught up?

It is crystal clear that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are enjoying their little power trip as they sabotage everything grassroots organizers fought for when they handed the Senate majority to Democrats.

 

We’re not going to be able to “push” conservative Dems like this. The only thing we can do is make them irrelevant.

 

And we do that by flipping Republican Senate seats with committed, principled progressives like Charles Booker, Morgan Harper, and Malcolm Kenyatta.
