My friend,

Wednesday was a big day outside the White House, where civil rights
leaders and youth activists, including our daughter Yolanda, rallied for
the right to vote and many of us – Yolanda included – were arrested in an
act of civil disobedience.

We can’t sit by and watch our chance to pass legislation to secure our
precious right to vote – bills like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John
Lewis Voting Rights Act – slip away while President Biden continues to
talk about voting rights but falls short on using the power of his office
to pressure the Senate.

Our efforts are having an impact. In the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen
the administration take a tougher stance on removing the filibuster as an
obstacle to protecting voting rights. But we need more – and fast.

That’s why we at Drum Majors for Change, along with People For the
American Way, the League of Women Voters, and others, were out at the
White House this week and it’s why we’ll be back the week after next.

[ [link removed] ]If you live in or near Washington, DC, or can travel in to join us
outside the White House on Wednesday, November 17, please RSVP HERE >>

And no matter where you are in the country, please keep contacting the
White House to let the president know he needs to lock arms with us in
this fight.

Call today and tell President Biden to keep his commitment to our rights
and our democracy. Tell him to LEAD by using every tool at his disposal to
push the Senate to get rid of the filibuster as an obstacle to passing
desperately needed voting rights legislation.

[ [link removed] ]Click to call the White House between 11 AM – 3 PM ET on Tuesdays
through Thursdays >>

We’re proud to have you with us in this fight. We can’t slow down now.
Those of us from a long civil rights tradition know how fragile our
democracy is… how the work to achieve and protect equal rights is work
that demands ongoing vigilance. Together, we can win, and we shall
overcome.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Martin Luther King, III and Arndrea King
