HUGE NEWS: Senate to prioritize biggest democracy reform bill in generations

Take two minutes right now to demand Congress pass the For the People Act by voting YES when it comes to the floor.

Pamela, this is our moment: The U.S. Senate just announced that its first piece of legislation will be the For The People Act. This is huge news, and would be the most comprehensive anti-corruption reform passed since Watergate. Today, we're holding a national day of action as part of our Put Democracy First campaign to ensure this crucial legislation becomes law. Will you add your name to our petition demanding Congress pass the For the People Act? If passed, this bill would implement a large portion of the policies RepresentUs has been pushing for in the American Anti-Corruption Act, our model legislation designed in 2012. Soon, the House and Senate will introduce a sweeping upgrade of election, ethics, campaign finance and presidential powers laws. The For the People Act would: Dramatically increase election security and voter participation. End gerrymandering in Congress. Strengthen ethics and financial conflict of interest laws for the President, Congress, and Supreme Court. End secret donations to politics and rein in Super PACs. Close lobbyist loopholes. ….and much, much more. 78% of Americans — of all political stripes — feel politicians don't care about them and their needs. Anti-corruption is the unifying force in America right now, but we need to show Congress consistent, overwhelming support for this issue. Take two minutes right now to demand Congress pass the For the People Act by voting YES when it comes to the floor. A new president will not solve the issues that have stymied our political system for decades. Taking advantage of this moment — the greatest opportunity to fight corruption that we've had since Watergate — will. If Congress knows that their constituents overwhelmingly support the For the People Act, they'll be forced to either pass it or face the political consequences. Add your name right now. A new chapter in our nation's history is unfolding, and it could be one of the most important moments for our movement. Thank you for being a part of it.
