#ForThePeopleAct | The Top Actions You Can Take This Week
Please support these critical actions to protect our democracy
________________________________________________________

Senator Mitch McConnell and his supporters continue to obstruct even debating the merits of the For the People Act while state attacks on our freedom to vote escalate. Our community must fight back against these attacks on our democracy by amplifying the need to pass this landmark act at all costs. Specifically, our response must accomplish three goals:
  • Amplify the opposition's intent to stop this act at all costs;
  • Educate our supporters that we need their support because the fight for this historic act will continue; and
  • Support some of our more moderate Congressional leaders to advance this act.
Here are the top actions you can take this week:
  • Amplify our updated guidance on breaking news stories, including this recent article on the link between democracy and the environment. See our Rapid Response section
  • Support our Congressional champs from the Senate Rules Committee field hearing held this week. Guidance can be found here. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further support. 

Thanks for your help in protecting our democracy.
