Hey Indivisibles,

It might be a new year, but our goal for passing democracy reform remains
the same. We are focused (and closer than ever) on passing two critical
democracy reform bills: the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
(sometimes called “the VRA”), and the Freedom to Vote Act. 

The Freedom to Vote Act would override some of the worst anti-democratic
bills that have already passed at the state level over the past few years,
and the VRA would prevent bills like this from going into effect in the
first place. That’s why we need both of these bills to pass as soon as
possible. 

Last year, Senate Republicans consistently used the filibuster to block
both of these bills from even reaching the floor.

Despite popular support for both of these bills, the filibuster has so far
prevented their passage. The good news is that Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer has set out a firm deadline of January 17 – MLK Day – to take a
vote on reforming the filibuster so that we can get these critical
democracy reform bills across the finish line. On Monday, [ [link removed] ]Senator
Schumer sent out another dear colleague letter where he reiterated that
even though he would like Republicans to work with the Democrats on the
issue of democracy reform, he is fully prepared for Senate Democrats to go
it alone to protect the foundation of our democracy: the right to vote.

This deadline is the clearest signal we’ve had that this long-awaited vote
is FINALLY coming – and we cannot get to the finish line without you!

We must eliminate the filibuster to save our democracy. [ [link removed] ]That is why we
are urging you today to call your Senators and let them know you want them
to eliminate the filibuster to pass much-needed democracy reform – there’s
no time to waste! We know that those of us who want to protect and expand
the people’s rights to participate are in the majority, and what we are
fighting for is right. This is not a partisan issue, and all Americans
should have access to fair elections.

We cannot continue to let Republicans hold our democracy hostage. 

The fight for democracy reform has been a long one, and we couldn’t do it
without you. With your continued support, we will continue to make great
strides towards progress in the House and Senate. Thank you for always
staying in this fight with us. 

In solidarity,

Indivisible Team
