Today at the White House, I’ll be joined by People For board members Alyssa Milano, Rabbi David Saperstein, Rev. Tim McDonald along with other clergy, civil rights leaders, and activists who know exactly how critical it is that President Biden heed our calls. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My friend,
We told President Biden we’d be back.
The Senate is due to vote on the Freedom to Vote Act tomorrow, but with the filibuster still in place, it has very little chance of being able to overcome the Republicans’ blockade. That’s exactly why we’ll be demonstrating at the White House TODAY to demand that President Biden use his bully pulpit to urge Senate Democrats to fix or nix the filibuster right away.
This time, I’ll be joined by People For board members Alyssa Milano, Rabbi David Saperstein, Rev. Tim McDonald along with other clergy, civil rights leaders, and activists who know exactly how critical it is that President Biden heed our calls.
Watch LIVE starting at 1 PM ET / 11 AM PT as I return to the White House to tell President Biden we need him to act for voting rights now! >>
I’ll be risking arrest again today – with stakes this high, I’m willing to put everything on the line for voting rights. We need President Biden to act now to protect our freedom to vote for generations to come.
Tune in starting at 1 PM ET >>
Thank you for all that you do,
Ben Jealous, President

Radical Right extremists are trying to turn back the clock on a century of advances in civil rights, women’s rights, workers’ rights, the social safety net and more… they’re waging an all-out assault on the fundamental pillars of our country – democracy, checks and balances, a fair and independent judicial branch, and core values like fairness, equality, and justice for all.
People For is fighting back every day with:
✔ Grassroots organizing
✔ Lobbying and advocacy
✔ Research and education
✔ Voter mobilization
✔ And more…
But we can’t do this vital work without the robust grassroots financial support of our members and activists.
