Add your name to my petition if you agree the Senate must abolish the filibuster, guarantee abortion rights, and expand the Supreme Court. It’s time we have a government that reflects the people it’s meant to represent.

We cannot allow the fate of the constitutional right to abortion to be left to a Supreme Court with a stolen far-right majority. Friends - Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This case marks the first time in 50 years that the Cou…
