Andra—Events are happening coast to coast for another week to demand senators protect our voting rights using every tool in their toolbox. If the Senate doesn't act before the end of summer, there may not be enough time to protect the 2022 election. We need to be in the streets demanding action now, before it's too late.
Don't miss this chance to join a Deadline for Democracy event near Chevy Chase—RSVP now.
Dear MoveOn member,
Our democracy remains under attack, and we're running out of time. Join a Deadline for Democracy event near you now to demand our senators pass the For the People Act.
Republicans lost the last election and lashed out in response, embracing lies to continue escalating their attacks on our democracy. Since then, we've seen almost 400 bills introduced in 48 statehouses across the country intended to limit our right to vote.1 Right after the GOP filibustered the For the People Act, Texas announced a special legislative session specifically to pass more attacks intended to make it harder for Black and brown people to vote.2
The work is just gearing up. Democrats are united, but they need to act with urgency and use every tool they have to defeat the Republicans abusing the Jim Crow filibuster. The minority must not be able to block bills with wide bipartisan support across the country.
Senators are home for two weeks so they can speak directly with constituents like you. RSVP now to your local Deadline for Democracy event to say the time is now to protect our voting rights and our democracy.
The For the People Act, known as H.R.1 in the House and S.1 in the Senate, is a bold step toward reducing the racial and economic inequalities in our political system. It would strengthen our democracy by expanding voting rights, reducing the influence of big money in politics, taking on corruption, and setting minimum standards that would make many of the voter suppression bills currently being proposed illegal.3
Whatever our race, background, or ZIP code, everyone should have their vote counted. Our democracy works only if everyone has a voice.
Don't let Republicans continue to rig the rules in their favor. RSVP now to a Deadline for Democracy event to demand the Senate use every tool they have to defend our freedom to vote.
Thanks for all you do.
–Emma, Corinne, Sandra, Ankur, and the rest of the team
