Indivisibles,
Later tonight, we expect the Senate to vote to end debate on the Freedom
to Vote: John R. Lewis Act (a new combined version of our two top-priority
voting rights bills). So let’s talk about what that means and our next
steps in this fight.
Tonight’s vote is the next chance for the filibuster to get in our way --
and we expect exactly that to happen, with Republicans blocking the bill
from moving forward. What’s different this time is we expect the Senate to
take up rules reform after that happens, either heading straight into a
vote to fix the filibuster or debating the idea first.
What does this mean? Within the next few days, we will finally get every
senator (including Sinema and Manchin) on the record with a vote on
whether a less-than-50-year-old procedural rule is more important than our
democracy.
Today, the absolute best thing you can do to have an impact as we head
into the final stretches of this fight is to keep the pressure up. Here’s
how to take action right now:
* [ [link removed] ]If you have a Democratic senator, call them and ask that they speak
on the floor (or [ [link removed] ]thank them for speaking out if they already have!)
in support of fixing the filibuster and passing democracy reform.
* [ [link removed] ]If you’ve got a Republican senator, call the White House comment
line and let President Biden know you expect him to be a champion for
democracy.
* If you’ve already made your calls and you’re still itching to do more,
[ [link removed] ]check out our new website for more ways to take action depending on
your local political landscape.
It’s been over a year since this fight kicked into high gear, and right
now we absolutely cannot stop fighting to win a more just and inclusive
democracy. Even after this phase of the work is finished, winning more
progressive policies that benefit the American people is our core mission
-- and we’ve been proud to be doing that by your side for five years.
We have one last ask of you: [ [link removed] ]Can you chip in $10 to support this final
push and tee up all our upcoming advocacy work? It’s always been important
to us that the people who make up this movement have the biggest say over
how it operates, which means we don’t take money from corporations,
political parties, or anyone who wants to dictate our strategy for us. So
we rely on you to make all our work -- the call pages we’ve updated dozens
of times, the websites and resources we host, the event supplies we mail
out, and more -- possible.
As always, we’re grateful for your support and your dedication to building
better systems. These next few days are a watershed moment for our
priorities, so let’s put everything we’ve got into winning.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
