Wanted to make sure you caught this, John.

The U.S. Senate is just days away from a crucial vote on whether to reform the filibuster to make way for the Freedom to Vote Act. 

If we can move enough senators to reform the filibuster, we’ll have cleared our biggest hurdle to protecting the right to vote and ensuring all Americans can make their voice heard.

Senate leadership has set a deadline of next Monday to get filibuster reform done. Send a message to your senators right now urging them to get on board.

Last week, we reached out to mark the anniversary of a historic attack on our democracy with a voter registration drive that contacted over 800,000 Americans. Now 12 months later we’re closer than ever to ensuring every American has safe access to the ballot box. 

The Freedom to Vote Act is our best chance to beat back dozens of anti-voter bills, shine a light on billionaires trying to rig our elections, and stop partisan gerrymandering before districts are rigged for the next ten years.

A supermajority of 70% of Americans and a majority of Republicans support this bill, John – we can’t allow the Senate to hide behind an arcane procedure to avoid getting this done.¹

If we can get 50 more signatures from District of Columbia, your senators may be pressed enough to support reforming the filibuster, and clear the way to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Add your name before it’s too late. >>

Everything our movement has been working for comes down to this. Let’s get it done.
