So today -- on January 6 -- please [ [link removed] ]attend a local event today, [ [link removed] ]add
your name calling for action, and [ [link removed] ]donate to elect Democratic
Secretaries of State.
Our democracy is hanging on by a thread one year after the January 6
attack on our Capitol. Congress has one chance to overturn state laws that
disenfranchise voters and rig the counting of our votes.
Here are 3 things you can do today:
[ [link removed] ]1. Attend one of more than 300 vigils across the country TODAY
remembering January 6 -- and calling for Congressional action.
At these candlelight vigils, voters will call on Congress and the
President to pass federal legislation to protect our right to vote and our
democracy. Local media will be present, so we need a big crowd. Thanks to
the Declaration for American Democracy coalition for organizing these
important events.
[ [link removed] ]2. Add your name to a coalition of partners uniting to tell President
Biden and Senate Democrats to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis
Voting Rights Act...NOW!
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has a joint petition with
Democracy For America, Demand Progress, Daily Kos, Future Coalition, and
other progressive organizations calling for action by Martin Luther King
Jr. Day this month.
The Freedom to Vote Act sets national standards for elections, increases
access to the ballot box, bans partisan and racial gerrymandering,
protects our elections from partisan sabotage, and takes steps to ensure
our government works for all the people -- not just the rich and powerful.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act restores the accountability in the 1965
Voting Rights Act, which was gutted by the right-wing Supreme Court. It
forces states to get approval from the federal government before making
major changes to how they administer elections.
Tell Congress to act now!
[ [link removed] ]3. As Trump targets Democratic Secretaries of State, donate here to
defend them!
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was one of the first to report that Donald Trump is
handpicking Republicans to run for Secretary of State in key states, so
they can corrupt the election machinery from within. Arizona, Nevada,
Georgia, and Michigan are among top targets.
PCCC members were the first national activists to [ [link removed] ]donate last year to
the previously-unknown Democratic Association of Secretaries of State
(DASS), which is fighting to elect people who will run elections fairly.
Jena Griswold, Colorado’s Secretary of State and Chair of the group says:
"PCCC members are indispensable to our work to elect Democratic
Secretaries of State. The attacks right now are no longer about 2020.
They’re about 2022 and 2024. It’s about chipping away at confidence and
chipping away at the reality of safe and secure elections. That’s why we
need to win, with your help."
So today -- on January 6 -- please [ [link removed] ]attend a local event today, [ [link removed] ]add
your name calling for action, and [ [link removed] ]donate to elect Democratic
Secretaries of State.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.

P.S. Meet Congressman Jamie Raskin on Zoom one week from today at 7pm
Eastern. Hear about his new book and his story of confronting the painful
loss of his son to suicide, living through the violent insurrection at the
Capitol, and leading the impeachment effort to hold President Trump
accountable for inciting the political violence. [ [link removed] ]RSVP here.
