John,

As soon as Democrats took control of the Senate, ending the filibuster should have been their top priority. Now, it’s a crisis point for the Democratic majority.

Senate Democrats have finally decided to vote to change filibuster rules in order to pass voting rights. That’s good news, but there are two problems.

1) Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema don’t want to change the rules if there’s no Republican support. They’re willing to throw away critical voting rights legislation.

2) This potential filibuster change won’t end the filibuster. It won’t allow other progressive legislation, like bills to codify Roe v. Wade, protect LGBTQIA+ rights, and address racial inequality, pass with a simple majority. Ending the filibuster is the only way we can pass these types of bills.

Senate Democrats must stop empowering Republicans. They must finally end the filibuster. Can you chip in $3 right now to fuel our continued fight to end the filibuster?

Six months ago, Mitch McConnell and the GOP used the filibuster to block the For The People Act. That was a big opportunity to secure historic voting rights protections as Republicans across the country pass more voter suppression laws.

Why has it taken so long for Senate Democrats to act? And will Manchin and Sinema block even the most basic filibuster reform? This may be our last chance for voting rights.

Until we transform the Democratic Party to unequivocally fight for the people and take bold action like ending the filibuster, this country is in trouble.

If you’re sick of the GOP blocking change and Democrats refusing to end the filibuster, donate $3 or more today to fuel our work to end the filibuster.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
