Hello,

The Senate is currently debating the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act, a combination of the original Freedom to Vote and John Lewis Voting Rights Act. 

This combined legislation will protect and expand the freedom to vote in America at a critical time. Hundreds of voter suppression bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the country (including here in Michigan).

We know that in order for our democracy to work, it must include all of us. We must urge the Senate to pass the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act.

Will you stand with Team MDP today by adding your name in support of the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act?

The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act is a transformational piece of legislation that will protect voting rights and expand access to the ballot. This legislation will:

• Make Election Day a federal holiday, removing barriers to voting for many working Americans
• Create online, automatic, and same-day voter registration
• Require a minimum of 15 days of early voting (including at least two weekends)
• Allow for mail-in voting and expand secure ballot drop boxes and online ballot tracking
• Restore voting rights to formerly incarcerated people
• Strengthen protections originally passed in the Voting Rights Act that have been watered down and weakened
• Protect against voter intimidation
• Stop voter suppression tactics like strict voter ID and purges of voter rolls
• And so much more!
