Hi John,

This is one of those rare moments where an entire movement comes together to recognize that EVERYTHING is on the line.

If you believe in LGBTQ rights; if you believe in sexual health and reproductive freedom; if you believe that everyone deserves to have their voice heard in a democracy — then tell your Senator to END THE FILIBUSTER.

Now is a critical time: This week, pressure is building on the Senate to finally change their old rules and end the filibuster so legislation can pass with a simple majority (you know, like every other democracy in the world).

• Learn more here about why ending the filibuster and passing critical voting rights legislation is essential to sexual health & rights, Reproductive Justice, and our overall goal of empowering young people to build a more equitable world.

Ending the filibuster and passing the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Act will make it easier to vote, bring down the barriers erected to silence Black, Indigenous, young and new Americans, and give all of us - no matter our color, zip code or income - an equal say in our democracy.

These transformative pieces of legislation will help us realize the promise of our democracy: where every voice is equal and our elected leaders deliver what our families need from creating quality jobs, to ensuring we can care for our families, to protecting our air and water.

(Note: the movement to end the filibuster and pass voting rights is a national effort happening this month. It is supported by thousands of progressive, civil rights, and reproductive justice organizations like Advocates for Youth. Details are here.)

Thanks for being a part of this history-making effort,
