Today’s Action: Abolish the filibuster and pass the Freedom to Vote Act!
Despite being in the minority, Senate Republicans have weaponized the filibuster this past session to block critical legislation from passage. Nothing has been off limits — climate measures, educational investments, and voting protections have all been pushed aside by GOP senators hellbent on blocking President Biden’s agenda.
Our democracy is in need of serious reform. The Freedom to Vote Act would protect against partisan gerrymandering, expand early voting, and help rein in big money politics, but there’s no way it can pass with the current filibuster rules in place.
Call (202.224.3121) or write your senators and demand an end to the filibuster and the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act!
The Freedom to Vote Act builds on the For the People Act to deliver critical voting measures and redistricting provisions that are absolutely necessary for our future elections. All across the nation, conservative state legislatures are passing anti-voter laws that would greatly affect their most marginalized constituents’ right to vote.
The filibuster has been historically used to uphold racist Jim Crow laws, so it’s hardly a surprise that it’s being used for suppression now. It’s an outdated tactic that needs to be eliminated as quickly as possible, before any further badly needed legislation is thwarted.
Call (202.224.3121) or write your senators to tell them to eliminate the filibuster and advance the Freedom to Vote act!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition calling on President Biden to let Haitian refugees stay in America, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
