There are two things every person who cares about democracy and the rule of law should be focused on right now: strengthening our democracy through voting rights, and healing our country from the scourge of white supremacy.
Here’s how you can get involved.
CIVIL RIGHTS/ Vanita Gupta & Kristen Clarke: The nominations of Vanita Gupta and Kristen Clarke to the DOJ are historic for our nation. If we want to heal our country from the scourge of white supremacy, we need people who have devoted their lives to fighting injustice leading the way. More than 1,300 of you have joined our letter supporting their nominations, but we need each and every one of you to stand up in this moment.
ACTION 1: Join our letter supporting Gupta and Clarke and share with your family and friends.
ACTION 2: Join today’s Digital Day of Action to #ConfirmClarkeandGupta between 1-2pm ET. Click here to access the digital toolkit.
VOTING RIGHTS/ For the People Act: Right now, we have a real chance to rescue our democracy and reshape our country by passing the HR1, the For the People Act, the most sweeping democracy bill in a generation. If enacted, The For the People Act will:
Protect and strengthen our sacred right to vote, especially in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.
Combat corruption by passing pro-ethics measures to clean up our government.
End the dominance of big money in politics so the people's voice can be heard.
The For the People Act is likely to come to the House for a vote THIS WEEK.
ACTION 3: Call Your Member of Congress now at 1-888-246-5947 to urge them to pass the For the People Act today.
Thank you in advance for your collective work on these issues. I’m grateful to have you in this fight with me.
