Everyone deserves the freedom to vote and to have their votes counted, but Jim Crow Republicans at all levels of government and on the Supreme Court are committed to eliminating them for all but white Americans. Democrats cannot allow the Senate’s and the Supreme Court’s Jim Crow roadblocks to stop them from going big, bold, and fast to protect our democracy--passing comprehensive legislation preserving our freedom to vote and rebalancing the courts.

Help meet our #DeadlineForDemocracy. Call daily and push Democrats to go BIG, BOLD, FAST, ALONE.

The Supreme Court continues to weaken voting rights. The Jim Crow faction uses obstruction to run out the clock to pass legislation. We must push Democrats to work on their own to pass legislation that will help us: abolish the filibuster, pass S1 and the Judiciary Act of 2021, and pass infrastructure by reconciliation.

We must convince Congress to go big and bold to build back our economy and restructure it to benefit us all, whether a version of Biden’s American Jobs Plan (AJP) is enacted through regular order and his American Families Plan (AFP) through reconciliation, or whether they are consolidated and passed through reconciliation after McConnell sabotages the bipartisan compromise.

History is made by those who show up. We will save democracy by persevering. When we get tired of repeating ourselves is about the time others begin listening. It takes all of us calling multiple times, so practice self-care and continue showing up to save democracy.

Republicans are well on their way to overthrowing democracy, which will allow the GOP -- the party of white men -- to control the federal government through minority rule, leaving us a whisper away from Trump-like rule of unrestrained racism, government corruption, erosion of public health, and violent rightwing extremism, all while perverting the rule of law and truth itself.

What happens after the Congressional recess depends on our actions over the next two weeks. We are the ones making history. Join us to take action.

Our calls and activism in support of S.1 gave us a victory this past week. What happens after the Congressional recess depends on our actions over the next two weeks. We are the ones making history. Join us to take action. LFG.

“The people did not give Democrats the House, Senate and White House to compromise with insurrectionists. Abolish the filibuster so we can do the people’s work.”

--Representative Ayanna Pressley, Democrat of Massachusetts

Republicans’ war on democracy is now aimed at sabotaging America’s elections by passing state voter suppression laws, and ending nonpartisan election management. The For the People Act is democracy’s best defense. The Senate must crush the filibuster, pass the FTPA, and save democracy.

This week is a big week for saving democracy. Our Members of Congress need to stand strong and eliminate the filibuster, or at least exempt pro-democracy legislation from it -- so Republicans can't stall S.1's passage past redistricting deadlines. We can help by committing to call our MoCs today and tomorrow.

The Constitution is based on the principle of majority rule. Whenever the Framers required a supermajority, they said so. Thus, no such requirement for the passage of general legislation exists. We ask our Senators to request a ruling from Vice-President Harris that the silent filibuster, which effectively prevents popular legislation from ever receiving a Senate vote, is unconstitutional. This will force the Senate to determine how to protect both the principle of majority rule and the minority’s right to be heard.

On January 8, Republican operatives learned that trying to stop the For the People Act would be a waste of money. That’s because it was extremely popular, even among conservative voters because it would: “Stop billionaires from buying elections.” So the GOP disguised their opposition with a billionaire-funded nationwide campaign of voter suppression. It diverted attention and gave cover to Joe Manchin and his Republican and Democratic colleagues alike, all dependent on dark money.
