John,
We're starting 2022 fighting for our democracy the same way we did in 2021 — demanding that we Abolish. The. Filibuster.
The filibuster is a white supremacist Jim Crow relic that continues to obstruct progress on voting rights and climate. And right now, it’s quite literally standing in the way of our democracy.
John, while President Biden can give speeches on the importance of voting rights, we know the truth: he’s failing to deliver unless he takes bold action, and fast. He needs to get his party in line and pass the legislation we need!
That starts by abolishing the filibuster, passing the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and banning partisan gerrymandering and other voter suppression tactics.
We can’t wait any longer — and we can’t afford to hear the same old excuses of ‘tradition’ when our climate, our livelihoods and our democracy are on the line.
In solidarity,
Paris, Sunrise
