Indivisibles,
We have just five days until the deadline Majority Leader Schumer set for
the Senate to consider changes to Senate rules -- January 17, Martin
Luther King Jr. Day. Today I’m calling on you to honor my father’s legacy
by joining me and my family -- my wife, Arndrea Waters King, and our
daughter, Yolanda Renee King -- and taking action to demand that the
Senate restore and protect our right to vote.
On Monday, my family and I will march across the Frederick
Douglass Memorial Bridge as part of the D.C. Peace Walk to send a strong
message that there can be no celebration without legislation. We expect
senators to deliver for voting rights by passing the Freedom to Vote Act
and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act -- especially in D.C.,
where residents still lack representation in the Senate. We need you to
join us:
Join us for the D.C. Peace Walk on Monday, January 17 at 9AM -- First St.
SE & Potomac Ave. SE
MLK Day is traditionally a day of service, so no matter
whether you can join an event or not, I’m asking you to take action this
weekend. Senators need to hear from you about why it’s crucial to pass
federal voting rights protections. Here’s what you can do:
* [ [link removed] ]If you have a Democratic senator, click here to call them and
demand that they fix the filibuster to pass both the Freedom to Vote
Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
* [ [link removed] ]If you have a Republican senator, click here to call the White
House Comment Line and let President Biden know you want him to do
everything he can to protect voting rights.
The filibuster has been used over and over again to uphold the structures
of racism -- and this time is no different. It’s time for that to end.
President Biden and Congress need to serve the people by protecting
democracy and ensuring the right to vote for all Americans. This weekend,
we’re honoring Dr. King by taking action to demand they do it. I hope
you’ll join us.
In solidarity,
Martin Luther King III
