Friend,

There are breaking developments in the fight to save our democracy from
the attacks it has endured from far-right lawmakers across the country.

Democratic senators have been working behind the scenes to refine the For
the People Act -- to increase its chance of passage while maintaining the
vital reforms essential to protecting the vote and saving our democracy.
Yesterday, Senator Joe Manchin and several of his colleagues introduced
the Freedom to Vote Act, a bill that does just that. Passing this bill
would be a monumental step forward for our democracy and the American
people.

Cosponsored by some of the Senate’s most vocal champions in the fight for
voting rights, like Senators Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR),
and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), this bill represents a watershed moment that
will counteract the rising tide of voter suppression, prevent partisan
gerrymandering, and help stop billionaires from buying our elections.

AND Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has committed to bringing this
bill to a vote NEXT WEEK!

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition right away and urge the Senate to move swiftly to
pass the Freedom to Vote Act and save our democracy! >>

NOW is the moment for the Senate to act to save our democracy and do so
with the urgency the situation requires:

* Far-right lawmakers in dozens of states across the country have
introduced legislation that seeks to restrict the right to vote – with
pivotal states like Georgia and Texas passing some of the most
restrictive!
* Bad-faith partisan actors are preparing to redraw congressional
districts ahead of the midterm elections – attempting to gerrymander
their way to victory and jeopardizing the Democratic majorities in
Congress!
* And big money groups are already funneling millions of dollars to
campaigns that would undermine the progress of the past year in order
to uphold the values of Trumpism and the regressive politics that
comes along with it.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to join the millions across the country demanding that
the Senate act immediately to protect and strengthen our democracy –
demand that they pass the Freedom to Vote Act! >>

We’ve fought long and hard to get to this point and with Sen. Schumer’s
pledge to hold a vote on this truly historic bill we cannot afford to let
up now.

Join me in calling on the Senate to do the right thing and pass the
Freedom to Vote Act.

Thanks for all you do,

Ben Jealous, President
