Dear Friend,

Our focus this week is on protecting voting rights as GOP lawmakers continue to introduce voter suppression laws across the country. Today, the United States Senate begins debates around a voting rights package that combines two critical bills, the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. This package passed in the House with a party-line vote last week, but Republicans are expected to use the filibuster to block the urgent legislation in the Senate. We need to fight back. 

If we don’t act now, the GOP will continue to pass racist laws that disenfranchise millions of American voters in the coming elections. Our Maryland Senators have voiced their strong support for these voting rights measures, and we’re calling on them now to push for this legislation as hard as they can in the coming days. Please take some time to call Senator Cardin, Senator Van Hollen, and President Biden and urge them to do everything in their power to overcome the filibuster and pass these critical voting rights protections. You can find the Senate and White House switchboard numbers here, along with a petition from our allies at Declaration for American Democracy. 

Our democracy is at stake, and there’s no time to waste. 

In Solidarity, 
The Progressive Maryland Team
