John, we need your help today to help prevent another insurrection at the Capitol.
The attack on January 6 was whipped up by former President Donald Trump using a loophole in a little known law — the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA).
At this very moment in Congress, lawmakers are discussing updating the outdated ECA to prevent another insurrection and ensure a peaceful transfer of presidential power in 2025 and beyond.
Can you call your senators today at (202) 224-3121 and help us get this over the finish line?
As you know, these are the final days of the so-called “lame duck” session before the new Congress starts next year with the Republicans in control of the House, so we’ve got to act now.
Amazingly, we are also close to another huge victory for our democracy — winning more federal funding for election officials across the country to help them continue to run free and fair elections in 2024.
With your help, we can win both these issues. Democracy won at the ballot box a month ago. Let’s do it again.
Can you make a call today? Can you join us and tell the Senate to vote “yes” to update the ECA and fund our elections?
We can’t let Congress go home for the holidays without getting these things done. That’s why we sent them there in the first place.
Call your senators TODAY at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to protect our elections and support those who run them!
If you don’t know who your senators are, click here to find out, and then call them at the phone number provided.
Tell your senators:
It’s absolutely essential that Congress update the Electoral Count Act and address the chronic underfunding of our elections before the year is over.
We need to ensure another January 6 can never happen again and prevent a constitutional crisis following future presidential elections.
And election workers — our neighbors, friends, and family members — need predictable funding so that they can continue to run free and fair elections.
Let’s get these two issues over the finish line!
Onwards,
Ethan Rome Chief of Strategy and Program
