Let’s make this time different

Great news, John! President Biden just used the biggest speech of his career to demand that Congress fix our broken political system and pass the For the People Act.  This is a big step forward, John — but presidents of both parties have voiced their support for democracy reform …

We only have a few hours, John

John,  President Biden’s speech to a joint session of Congress is just hours away and we still don’t have confirmation that he’ll urge Congress to prioritize the For the People Act.  This is the president’s chance to signal to lawmakers, lobbyists, and the American people that th…

No ... Seriously, John: The President wants to hear from you

John,  On Wednesday night, President Biden will step up to the House podium for his speech before a joint session of Congress. This is the president’s first chance to unequivocally lay out his priorities for the next two years — and that needs to include fixing our broken politic…

Rigged maps and fixed elections

John,  We only have 6 months to stop politicians from rigging our elections for the next decade. Our Gerrymandering Threat Index lays out the risks in every state, and it's already been covered by Axios, Newsmax and The Guardian — raising the alarm that 188 million people are in …

Georgia is just the beginning.

John, Georgia is just the beginning. Last week, Georgia passed an outrageous anti-voter law — and your state could be next. In 43 states, politicians are pushing more than 250 laws that would damage democracy and entrench their own power. We can stop this widespread assault on ou…

Bogus.

John,  In just March alone, big money groups have committed at least $10,000,000 to a misinformation smear campaign aimed at the For the People Act.  From genuinely dangerous lies to bogus claims of trading cocaine for votes (?!?!?!), we’re seeing what happens when a corrupt syst…

We’re scaring the hell out of the political establishment

John, The For the People Act would give everyday Americans real political power — and frankly, it’s scaring the hell out of status-quo politicians. They’re throwing flagrant disinformation and bogus lies at the Act in a desperate attempt to mislead the public about this crucial n…

Liberals and conservatives ... agree?!?!?

John, The House just passed the For the People Act, a once-in-a-generation bill to unrig our broken political system – but as it moves on to the Senate, a false myth is spreading that conservatives don't support the bill. We need to debunk this lie before it takes hold – so we cr…

147 lawmakers betrayed the people on Jan. 6. Demand they’re held accountable: Call on House and Senate leadership to hold a censure vote condemning their actions.
