John,
Last week, Senate Democrats introduced the Freedom to Vote Act. This bill would transform our democracy for the better -- addressing threats like voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, and big money in politics -- and making sure every American has a meaningful say in our future.
The provisions of this bill are overwhelmingly supported by the American people across party lines but your senators need to hear from you that you support it!
Could you please write to your senators right now and urge them to pass the Freedom To Vote Act?
I’m really excited to see forward progress on this bill -- especially at a time when our democracy is facing unprecedented threats. We anticipate a Senate vote on this bill as soon as next week -- so I hope you will join me in speaking out.
Passing the Freedom to Vote Act will strengthen our voting rights so that we all, regardless of political party, background, or where we live, have an equal say in the future for our family and community. It will end gerrymandering along partisan or racial lines by requiring fair maps for congressional districts. And, it will take important steps to curtail secret money in elections and encourage small-dollar donors to reduce the influence of big money.
But we can’t do it without your help. Can you write to your senators today? Just a few minutes of your time can make a huge difference.
Thanks for all you do,
Christine Bass, Freedom to Vote Act Digital Organizer
and the team at Common Cause
P.S. - Join our special activist webinar next Monday, 9/27 at 7:30pm Eastern/4:30 Pacific. We’ll hear from young activists who are working to pass the Freedom to Vote Act why this bill matters to them -- and how you can get involved!
