Dear Friend,

Halloween is especially scary this year. Not because of the neighbor’s
zombie decorations – and certainly not because of all the (adorable)
miniature vampires at your door for candy...

Nope. This year, Halloween is off-the-charts frightening because of U.S.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s LEGISLATIVE GRAVEYARD that is
actively harming women, working families, the LGBTQ+ community, the
immigrant community, and our democracy.

What’s this graveyard? Well, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed
over 100 terrific bills this session, including critical legislation that
would enhance election security, help close the gender wage gap, raise the
minimum wage, and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

But instead of giving the U.S. Senate a chance to vote on these bills –
many of them bipartisan – U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell chose to become the
self-proclaimed “grim reaper” of the U.S. Senate by burying all promising
legislation [ [link removed] ]in his graveyard. [1]

[ [link removed] ]>>> Have no fear – we won’t be spooked by the U.S. Senate’s “grim
reaper”! Tell U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell to shut down his legislative
graveyard and let the Senate do their job!

Here is a snapshot of some of the many important bills that currently sit
in U.S. Senator McConnell’s legislative graveyard:

🎃 H.R. 1 - For the People Act would expand voting rights, limit partisan
gerrymandering, strengthen ethics rules, and limit the influence of
private donor money in politics.

👻 H.R. 5 - Equality Act would extend civil rights protections to LGBTQ+
people.

🔮 H.R. 6 - American Dream and Promise Act would provide Dreamers and
immigrants eligible for Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced
Departure with a pathway to citizenship and permanent protections from
deportation.

🧛🏻‍♂️ H.R. 7 - Paycheck Fairness Act would strengthen equal pay
protections for women by expanding upon the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the
Fair Labor Standards Act.

💀 H.R. 582, Raise the Wage Act would raise the federal minimum wage in six
steps to $15 per hour by 2024.

🧙🏼‍♂️ H.R. 986, Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act would
prohibit the Trump Administration from implementing guidance released in
2018 that weakens protections for pre-existing conditions.

🍁 H.R. 1585, Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act would greatly
improve our nation's response to domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking.

🧟‍♀️ H.R. 2722, Securing America’s Federal Elections Act would close
dangerous gaps in our election systems and brings our election security
into the 21st century.

Wow! Far from being spooked, the U.S. House of Representatives has been
busy advancing legislation that would boost our nation in so many ways. On
the other hand, U.S. Senator McConnell’s legislative graveyard doesn’t
just represent his inaction – it represents real harm that he is causing
women, working families, the LGBTQ+ community, the immigrant community,
and our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]>>> This Halloween, stand up to Senator Mitch McConnell and tell him to
CLOSE the U.S. Senate’s legislative graveyard and let our Senators have a
vote. Enough is enough!
It’s time for Senator Mitch “Grim Reaper” McConnell to do his job. We
can’t and won’t wait any longer.

Together, we are a powerful force for women and families.
