Republicans in the Senate just filibustered urgently needed legislation to protect the right to vote across America. Again.
And when Senate Democrats tried to bypass the filibuster, they were unable to get all 50 Democratic Senators on board so they could pass critical legislation to save our democracy.
No matter how many times the Senate considers voting rights proposals, the outcome will NOT change until we do something about it. Republicans are leading the charge on voter suppression, so why would they suddenly join us to protect voting rights? We can’t wait for them; we have to act on our own.
We need to end the filibuster and protect our democracy.
It’s critical that Senate Democrats immediately bypass the filibuster and pass legislation to protect voting rights, free and fair elections, and our democracy.
Republicans will always prioritize voter suppression and attacks on our democracy. And with the filibuster in place, our Democratic majority that voters delivered us won’t be able to pass the critical reforms needed at this moment — like getting big money out of politics, LGBTQIA+ protections, gun violence prevention measures, climate justice, reproductive rights, and more.
We can’t afford to squander our best opportunity to pass legislation that ensures people can exercise their right to vote. We can’t afford to squander our best opportunity to deliver for the people. Ending the filibuster is how we safeguard our elections against the GOP’s dangerous, anti-democratic attacks. There’s just too much on the line for the Senate to continue delaying legislation that is critical for our democracy.
In solidarity,
Pramila
