The Senate is back and we’re demanding equal voting rights with MLK’s family.
[[link removed]]Hey John,

MLK Day marks Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s deadline to unrig the rules of democracy so that our elected officials can finally
deliver for voting rights (1) . That means progressive lawmakers intend to begin working to reform the
filibuster in order to clear a path forward for this critical voting rights
bill.



The House just passed the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act
[[link removed]] , important legislation to protect free and fair elections and combat against
voter suppression. Now is the time for our Senators to show us which side they
are on. Each senator can come down on the side of the American people or they can come
down on the side of the anti-voter laws silencing the voices of Americans across
the country. Failure to deliver voting rights legislation to the American people
will put senators on the wrong side of history.



That’s why this year for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we’re joining more than
150 organizations and the King family to honor Dr. King’s legacy by advocating
for legislative voting rights action now.

TAKE ACTION
[[link removed]]Your voice is critical. Our best chance to fix voting rights and our broken
democracy is by passing the Freedom to Vote Act: John R. Lewis Act. Our Senators must do everything in their power to get this bill to President
Biden’s desk to sign into law, even if that means reforming the filibuster. This
important bill can ensure that young people, along with disproportionately
impacted groups, can fully participate in our democracy.



In solidarity,

Edwith Theogene
