John,

It’s no secret that dozens, and dozens, and dozens, of House-passed bills
full of Democratic priorities have been collecting dust in the Senate in
Mitch McConnell’s filibuster graveyard.

And since today is May Day, I want to highlight one in particular, that
shows why it’s so important that we keep up the pressure on Senate
Democrats to abolish the filibuster.

I’m talking about the Protecting the Right to Organize Act or PRO Act for
short. It is the single most pro-union bill to pass the House in decades.
That’s right, decades.

This bipartisan bill would begin to turn the tide against a decades-long
assault on workers’ rights, from so-called “right to work” laws passed by
Republican states to the union-busting efforts of some major corporations.

Workers have been at the forefront of grassroots efforts to raise the
minimum wage to $15 and improve working conditions during the pandemic.
Now, they are undertaking more unionization efforts than this country has
seen in decades, from Amazon to Starbucks and beyond to have dignity, fair
pay, and security at work. No one should have to cobble together an income
from two or three jobs working for companies raking in record profits.

It’s ironic to hear some of my colleagues’ defenses of the filibuster —
that it promotes bipartisanship when it’s being used to prevent a
bipartisan House-passed bill from getting a fair vote in the Senate.

country by demanding the Senate abolish the filibuster and pass the PRO
Act. Add your name here:

This isn’t exactly a newsflash, but wealth and income inequality in the
United States is spiraling out of control.

Last week, Elon Musk — the richest person on Earth — announced he would
purchase Twitter for $44 billion. Jeff Bezos blasts off into space while,
on the ground, Amazon workers are forced to work at a breakneck pace with
some of the worst turnover rates in the country.

It’s time to stand up and fight back. President Biden has proven his
pro-union bonafides, and if we can get this bill through the Senate, we
can tilt the balance of power back towards working people after years of
anti-worker legislation and attacks.

[ [link removed] ]Are you with me, John? Add your name to my petition
demanding Senate Democrats abolish the filibuster so we can pass vital
legislation like the PRO Act.

Thanks for adding your name to stand with the millions of working people
across our country. I’m grateful for your support.

— Adam
