Friend,
Hello and happy 🍂 Freedom to Vote Fall! 🍂
It has been a BUSY month for Congress, Fair Fight Action and the voting rights movement as a whole. We have a lot to cover today and are excited for you to dive in ⬇️.
Thanks to the hard work of volunteers like you, our Hot Call Summer campaign drove more than 75,000 calls to Congress this summer demanding they take urgent action to protect the freedom to vote. And your calls made a difference! Last week, voting rights leaders in the U.S. Senate introduced a major piece of legislation—the Freedom to Vote Act.
This is a massive grassroots victory and you should feel proud. But while the seasons are changing, the fight to pass federal voting rights legislation remains more urgent than ever. And with redistricting already underway, it’s up to us to keep the pressure going!
So while 🔥 Hot Call Summer🔥 comes to an end, Fair Fight Action is excited to launch 🍂 Freedom to Vote Fall 🍂 — here’s what’s next:
- Continue to call your Senators every day at 833-465-7142 to demand they pass both the Freedom to Vote Act AND the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
- Take a few minutes to remind yourself why you’re in this fight by watching Fair Fight Action’s brand new video series featuring voters from across the country sharing their personal experiences with voter suppression.
- Spread the word about Freedom to Vote Fall and share our voters’ stories by amplifying the below posts. Or use our social media toolkit to create your own!
What to Say to Your Senators:
This is a decisive moment for our nation and the time has never been more urgent to take action to protect voting rights. It is imperative that Senators pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act before redistricting maps are formally approved. It’s time for our Senators to step up and fight to protect our fundamental rights, and I’m counting on you to do whatever it takes to pass these critical bills.
Want some more information? Feel free to share the following with your Senators:
The Freedom to Vote Act takes the necessary steps to protect our democracy and strengthens national standards for voting access for every eligible American regardless of zip code.
The provisions of this legislation are overwhelmingly supported by the American people across party lines, and we need you to respond to the demands of your constituents by supporting it.
Together, the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will protect our democracy by ensuring all eligible Americans can register to vote, cast a ballot, and have that ballot counted fairly. That’s why it’s critical that you pass BOTH bills.
