Demand passage of the ‘For the People Act’

We are at a pivotal crossroads in our country. We all want and deserve the freedom to vote in a transparent process we trust so we can elect leaders who will deliver for us by creating living wage jobs and providing health care for all. Yet we have Republican senators who blocked an investigation into a deadly attack on our Capitol and who are trying to use the same loophole to block legislation that the majority of Americans across the political spectrum have demanded to protect: our freedom to vote.

This is a turning point for our nation. SR 1 is being voted on this week. Our leaders must eliminate the filibuster and pass the “For the People Act” to create national standards to ensure that we can safely and freely cast our ballots, have our voices heard in order to elect leaders who deliver on our priorities. Contact your senator to demand they vote for SR1. It’s the bipartisan thing to do, we all want to vote.
