President Biden must do everything in his power to get it done. Maryland, Virginia And Dc Indivisibles,
The clock is ticking in Congress on voting rights. While we continue to see a surge in anti-voter laws emerging from state legislatures around the country, the Senate remains stalled in passing federal legislation. Senate Republicans have time and again filibustered any move toward a vote, and we cannot risk more delays while our democracy and our right to vote are in peril. We need all of our leaders to do everything they can to meet this moment -- including President Biden.
On Wednesday, November 17, we're mobilizing with People for the American Way, the Declaration for American Democracy coalition, and other allies to call on the White House to step up their commitment to voters, and work with the Senate to secure the votes necessary to pass meaningful voting rights legislation. Passing federal voting rights legislation is the most important priority right now, and the Biden administration must do everything possible to urge the Senate to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and the D.C. statehood bill -- without the Jim Crow filibuster standing in the way.
