Jack, the Senate is poised to vote on the Freedom to Vote Act Wednesday, October 20. This is our last chance to let our leaders know that voting rights are non-negotiable.
The Freedom to Vote Act comes in response to a slew of voter suppression bills enacted by Republicans in state legislatures across the country.
Sign and send the petition: Demand that Congress pass the Freedom to Vote Act now!
SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION
Democrats in Congress must pass voting rights now while they're in control of the House, Senate, and the presidency. America is strongest when our democratic intuitions are strong, and this act would help fortify those institutions. No matter what our race, background, or zip code, democracy should work for all of us, not just some of us. We should pick our representatives, not the other way around.
This is your chance to tell your member of Congress what the freedom to vote means to you. Sign and send the petition: Congress must pass the Freedom to Vote Act!
SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier demanding that Congress pass the Freedom to Vote Act:
Jack,
Senate Democrats have finally agreed on one of the most critical issues facing our nation today: Voting rights. The Freedom to Vote Act, newly introduced in Congress, enjoys the support of the entire caucus.
The Freedom to Vote Act would prevent the most egregious Republican election tampering by preventing gerrymandering, rolling back laws that make voting by mail harder, and making election day a federal holiday.
But given the GOP's concerted state-level disenfranchisement efforts, we still have a long way to go until passing this important legislation, that unity is not likely to inspire support from their colleagues across the aisle. That's why we have to convince them otherwise by letting them know where we stand on voting rights.
Sign and send the petition: Demand that your senators pass the Freedom to Vote Act now!
SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION
I'm not exaggerating when I say that our democracy itself is on the chopping block if we don't pass voting rights legislation before the midterm elections. Republicans are passing laws all over the country that restrict our freedom to vote. Laws funded by dark money operatives like Big Oil, Big Pharma, and white nationalists.
It's time to finally level the playing field.
We know how essential legislation safeguarding voting rights is now more than ever, and this is our chance to tell Congress how we feel. Sign and send the petition: Urge Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
