People For Member,

We're at the White House RIGHT NOW, risking arrest with a direct action at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to tell President Biden he must match his
rhetoric with action and use every bit of his influence to push senators
to get voting rights legislation passed.



Please join us in one of two ways now:

1. Call the White House now at 888.724.8746 and demand that President
Biden realize his essential role in this fight -- he must use the awesome
power of his office, the bully pulpit, the influence he wields, and his
expertise of the U.S. Senate as a body to GET THE SENATE TO REMOVE THE
FILIBUSTER AND PASS VOTING RIGHTS LEGISLATION!

2. [ [link removed] ]Tune into the live feed -- still broadcasting here>>



This is what democracy looks like. No more excuses.

-----[previous message]-----

Dear People For Member,

I’ll be quick. Our right to vote is under assault -- on a scale that we
haven’t seen since the days of Jim Crow.

There can be no more excuses – from Congress or from this administration.
The survival of our democracy depends on the willingness of our leaders
not just to tell us but to SHOW us how committed they are to defending our
free and fair elections.

That’s why this morning we’re taking the message directly to the White
House –- and risking arrest.

time as the event unfolds starting at 9:25 am ET  >>

You've stood with us and helped build the national movement to save
democracy with the reforms -- before Congress right now in the Freedom to
Vote Act -- that will protect voting rights, end gerrymandering, and get
dark money out of elections.

This historic legislation is being held up thanks to the Senate
filibuster. It’s up to President Biden to meet this moment and lead, by
using the power of the presidency (and his expert knowledge of the Senate)
to break the impasse and get senators to eliminate the filibuster as the
obstacle.

We’re on our way to the White House, with our partners the League of Women
Voters, the Declaration for American Democracy coalition, and various
civil rights and faith leaders to make sure we are heard:

Our democracy can't wait. There can be no more excuses. The Senate must
fix or nix the filibuster in order to protect voting rights. And President
Biden has an essential role in this fight.

Even if you’re not in the DC area and can’t be with us at the White House,
you can be with us virtually by watching the livestream, starting at 9:25
am Eastern time, at the link below.

I hope you’ll stay with us in this important fight, and I thank you for
everything you do.

Thank you,

Ben Jealous, President
