John,

After months of pressure by DFA members, our campaign to get the Senate to
act on protecting the cornerstone of our democracy, voting rights, is
finally working.

Earlier today, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the
Senate will vote on filibuster rules changes so we can finally advance
voting rights legislation that has been held back by Senate Republicans
hellbent on destroying our democracy.

It's about time that Senate Democrats step up to the plate and work to
reform the filibuster. But, we can't just hope they do away with the
filibuster, we have to continue pushing to make them act.

[ [link removed] ]That's why we’re calling for the Senate to act NOW. Will you sign your
name to join us as we push Senate Democrats to protect voting rights by
ending the filibuster?

One of the biggest roadblocks for Democrats passing any sort of
legislation is the filibuster, a racist relic of the Jim Crow era, that
allows a minority of Senators to block voting on proposed legislation
unless 60 or more Senators vote to end debate.

Thanks to the filibuster, even a Republican minority in the Senate can
block the vast majority of policies, including key voting rights
legislation.

Let’s be clear: Republicans do not shy away from changing the Senate rules
when they want to pass their top priorities. With Democrats now in
control, they need to have the same determination to deliver an agenda
that fights voter suppression and protects our democratic rights.

[ [link removed] ]We cannot allow an extreme minority to block key voting rights
legislation. Will you sign your name to join our fight?

Thank you for your activism, together we can protect voting rights and end
the filibuster once and for all.
