We were on the verge of getting a long-overdue vote in the Senate to expand voting rights and protect our democracy. But now, we're hearing that not every Democratic Senator is on board yet. That’s why we all need to do everything we can to double down on our push for free and fair elections right now.
It’s critical that Senate Democrats immediately bypass the filibuster and pass legislation to protect voting rights, free and fair elections, and our democracy. We must ramp up our call on the Senate and make it very clear: we either protect the filibuster or our democracy.
We can’t afford to squander our best opportunity — with majorities in the House and Senate and President Biden in the White House — to pass legislation that ensures people can exercise their right to vote. That’s how we safeguard our elections against the GOP’s dangerous, anti-democratic attacks. There’s just too much on the line for the Senate to continue delaying legislation for our democracy.
The next week could determine how free and fair our elections are in November. Without passing historic voting rights protections, our democracy is in danger. Contribute $3 or anything you can today so we can redouble our advocacy for immediate action in the Senate to bypass the filibuster and protect our democracy.
In solidarity,
Team Jayapal
