America deserves an inclusive democracy where all can can make themselves heard, all ballots have equal worth, and our needs take precedence over special interests’. For the People Act (H.R.1/S.1) is the necessary antidote—making illegal Republicans’ anti-enfranchisement tactics. It creates the infrastructure to permanently bolster voters’ influence.

What would America look like if everyone really could vote? Democrats want us to find out by passing “For the People” (HR1/S1) and "John Lewis Voting Rights" Acts? Today we focus on how HR1/S1 will protect elections from interference by strengthening infrastructure and treating voter data as sensitive information,

The For the People Act restores federal oversight to end unconstitutional voter suppression. It requires states to adopt independent redistricting commissions so we choose our MoCs. Senator Merkley said, “Everyone who believes in our Constitutional vision should support reforms that make sure the American people are able to vote.”

The 2020 election showed the most powerful person in the country is the American voter. Voters ejected Trump from the White House and dethroned Mitch McConnell. Democrats are now in control and have the opportunity to secure an American ideal: that everyone eligible can vote. The bills to do that are the “For the People” and John Lewis Voting Rights Acts.

Indivisible Oregon is excited to introduce our For the People Act (HR1/S1) campaign. HR1/S1 reforms and strengthens our democracy. The past 4 years underscore the need to pass it asap. Our Oregon Democratic Members of Congress all support it, and they need our help to take the leadership role Oregon's voting system provides and get this bill passed.
