When We All Vote
Senator Schumer announced last week that the Freedom to Vote Act is headed for a procedural vote in the Senate today. Email your senators now [[link removed]] to let them know how important it is that we pass this legislation and protect voting rights.
Hey John,
I wanted to check in and make sure you heard about what’s going on with the Freedom to Vote Act -- one of the most important voting rights and civil rights bills we've seen in the last 50 years. Today, the Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote on the Freedom to Vote Act.
Let’s be clear: Passing the Freedom to Vote Act through the Senate is our single greatest chance at truly building a democracy by the people, for the people. Contact your senators today and let them know how important it is that we pass this legislation before it’s too late. 2022 is right around the corner and we need to do all we can to strengthen and protect the freedom to vote for millions of Americans ahead of a big midterm election year.

We know that keeping up with everything can be a challenge -- so our team at When We All Vote is here to break it down and explain how YOU can play a role in protecting our freedom to vote for generations to come.
👉 How would the Freedom to Vote Act protect our votes and our voices?
Among other things, the Freedom to Vote Act will:
Allow for same day voter registration,
Establish automatic voter registration,
Protect and expand access to voting by mail,
Establish 15 days of early voting, including at least two weekends,
Restore voting rights to individuals who have been previously incarcerated,
Prevent partisan gerrymandering, and
Protect against voter intimidation.
With state lawmakers introducing more than 500 voter suppression bills to make it harder to get registered and cast our ballots, passing federal voting rights legislation is the single most important thing we can do to protect access to the ballot box .
👉 Where is the Freedom to Vote Act in the legislative process?
For the bill to advance and begin debate in the Senate, it will need 60 votes.
👉 How can my voice push my senators to take action?
Every single senator and their office are keeping track of how many voters contact them. Every email YOU send will influence the way that your senators review, research, and make changes to the bill.
Thank you to the more than 14,000 supporters who have taken action with us -- you’ve made phone calls, sent emails and tweeted calling on your elected officials to protect our voting rights. This bill and its progression through the Senate is a direct result of your work. And we have more to do .
EMAIL YOUR SENATORS NOW [[link removed]] Bills like the Freedom to Vote Act that pass through the halls of Congress will go on to impact every aspect of our daily life -- including our ability to make our voices heard in our communities.
Thank you for taking action and being a part of our team.
