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:

• If you have a Democratic senator, call them and ask that they speak on the floor (or thank them for speaking out if they already have!) in support of fixing the filibuster and passing democracy reform.
• 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, 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: 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
