Recess Can Wait

We’re at a make it or break it moment in the fight to defend our democracy.

We cannot afford to wait any longer for Senate action.

The For the People Act must be signed before the end of summer in order to be implemented in time to go into effect by the 2022 midterm elections and prevent partisan maps from disenfranchising voters — especially voters of color — for the next decade.

Join in a week of action as we tell the Senate not to go home without passing S1 – #RecessCanWait.

RECESS CAN WAIT – OUR DEMOCRACY CAN’T!

The Senate MUST PASS the For the People Act!

WEDNESDAY: National Call-In Day – August 4th

This Wednesday, Call Your Senator @ 1.888.453.3211 and t ell them to pass the For the People Act before breaking for congressional recess. Recess can wait – our democracy can’t!   The For the People Act (S1) must be passed and signed into law before the end of summer in order to go into effect before the 2022 midterms, and to prevent the drawing of hyper-partisan maps that threaten to disenfranchise voters, especially voters of color, for the next decade.  Congress must pass the For the People Act and cannot let anything get in their way, including the filibuster. The Senate cannot leave for congressional recess without passing S1, even if that means delaying recess. Recess can wait – our democracy can’t.
