We need 3,000 more signatures today? ? ? ? DEMAND THE SENATE REFORM THE FILIBUSTER TO PROTECT OUR VOTING RIGHTS
Everyone deserves to have an equal say in the political process ? but anti-voting laws and new gerrymandered maps are threatening to disenfranchise voters of color, low-income communities, and young people in elections in 2022 and beyond.
Our democracy is on the line and we need you to join our fight. Senate Republicans have stopped popular bills that advance voting rights and protect democracy from passing with a simple majority vote, due to the filibuster. Will you be one of the 3,000 people we need to demand today that your senators vote to reform the filibuster so they can pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act?
Take action today and demand that your senators vote to reform the filibuster and protect voting rights for all ? [link removed] ? TAKE ACTION [link removed] ? ? ? ? ? Friend,
In our democracy, everyone's voice deserves to be heard, and everyone deserves to be able to vote without barriers or disenfranchisement, no matter their background or zip code.
But right now, one of our most fundamental rights ? the right to vote and have a say in the decisions that impact our lives and communities the most ? is under threat, with hundreds of anti-voting bills being debated in state legislatures and gerrymandered maps getting approved in key states before the 2022 elections.
The only way we can pass the voting rights protections we need is by urging senators to reform the filibuster and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act ? can you reach out to your senators today? We need to deliver at least 3,000 signatures to the Senate, and you can send a message in just a few seconds! [link removed]
Both of these critical voting bills are unanimously supported by Senate Democrats and would help address partisan gerrymandering and stop discriminatory anti-voting laws. They're widely popular, and we need to make sure your senators know that you support reforming the filibuster so they can pass.
It's critical we act now, because without a healthy and just democracy, there is simply no path to a healthy environment. The same communities being targeted right now by voter suppression ? voters of color, low-income communities, and young people ? will face the burden of environmental harms that threaten our air and water and the worst impacts of climate change.
Without their free and fair representation in elections, our democracy, and the future of our communities and climate, is at stake. That's why we must demand our senators reform the filibuster, and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act immediately.
Will you be one of the 3,000 LCV supporters we need to take action and tell their senators today that Congress must reform the filibuster and protect voting and civil rights nationwide? [link removed]
A vast majority of people in America support expanding voting rights, but anti-voting restrictions and gerrymandered maps across the country are producing the opposite effect.
We can't let a small group of senators, beholden to Big Polluters and other moneyed interests, block progress on voting rights. If we all speak up together, we can make clear to our representatives that voting rights MUST be protected, through filibuster reform and passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act.
Thank you for joining us in the fight to protect our democracy.
