John,

The legacy of Jim Crow voter suppression is alive and well. While the
approach is different, the strategy of limiting voting rights for
communities of color remains the same.

Last year alone, over 400 voter suppression bills, specifically targeted
Black and Brown voters, were introduced in states nationwide.

That's why today, the House has passed the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis
Act, a combination of the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting
Rights Advancement Act.

In addition to creating federal standards for voting access, the bill
would make Election Day a holiday, establish same-day voter registration,
and require an early voting period in all states.

With the House passing this historic voting rights legislation today, The
Senate now has a choice: They can stand by the filibuster, which has
consistently been used to stop Civil Rights legislation from passing, or
they can support the right to vote and fight back.

our democracy by supporting a carve-out from filibuster rules to enact
critical voting rights legislation?

As long as we have hundreds of racist voter suppression laws being jammed
through by Republican-controlled state legislatures, none of our rights
are safe.

And with 33 voter suppression laws passed last year, it is clear that
Republicans know they can’t win unless they successfully suppress the
right to vote.

To continue making progress on building a more inclusive, representative
democracy, we must protect our rights and take on the filibuster.

filibuster rules and enact critical voting rights legislation?

Thanks for all you do,
