The filibuster is an antiquated tradition that has no place in a modern democracy.
Democracy is on the line and we’re closer than ever to abolishing the filibuster.
Last week, President Biden voiced his strong support for filibuster reform in order to pass critical voting rights legislation.
“The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation’s history. The issue is: Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadow, justice over injustice? I know where I stand.” —Joe Biden, January 11, 2021.
Ro and our campaign stand with Joe Biden because we believe every American has the fundamental right to cast their vote, free from barriers or intimidation — and the filibuster is standing in the way of that. If you agree with Joe Biden and Ro, support our campaign to make sure Ro can continue crucial conversations with his colleagues in Washington to expand and defend voting rights.

In 2021, we saw a coordinated effort by conservative state legislatures to restrict voting rights across the country, disproportionately impacting working Americans, people of color, and people with disabilities. We must abolish the filibuster so we can pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
The bottom line is this: The filibuster is an antiquated tradition that does not belong in a modern democracy.
We cannot and must not let a small handful of people determine our ability to make our voices heard at the ballot box. Ro will continue to fight to uphold our democratic process. Chip in today if you support and believe in our campaign.
