John, the Senate is days away from voting on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Republicans are guaranteed to try and stop this by filibustering. So it's time we put democracy ahead of an arcane and outdated Senate rule. Add your name to support ending the filibuster so that we can finally pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act >>

Add Your Name: [link removed]

We're at a defining moment for our democracy. The original Voting Rights Act was gutted by a conservative majority on the Supreme Court eight years ago. Republican state legislatures then proceeded to pass a series of restrictive voting laws -- and their efforts to limit access to the ballot box have reached even more extreme heights in the wake of the 2020 election.

I was proud to be a co-sponsor of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act when it passed the House last year, and I've continued to advocate for it to become the law of the land. It will restore the provisions that the Supreme Court struck down, and greatly enhance the Department of Justice's authority to block or challenge discriminatory voting laws passed by states.

John Lewis spent his entire life fighting so that no American’s right to vote would ever be infringed upon. From the streets of Selma to the halls of Congress, he knew that this was his mission. The passage and impact of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a testament to the incredible work by him and so many other courageous activists.

We cannot let that work be undone by letting minority rule by anti-democracy extremists in the Senate continue. The sole obstacle to sending the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to President Biden's desk is the Senate filibuster. We are running out of time to pass legislation to defend our democracy, and we must show that there is the public will to abolish the filibuster.

So please, add your name to end the filibuster and protect the right to vote. We need at least 7,500 signatures this week to do our part in demonstrating that the American people want swift action.
