1. Last chance to attend a Recovery Recess event! It’s the second week of spring recess, so make your voice heard this week before your reps head back to D.C.! We need a bold recovery package that delivers real climate solutions, and advances racial, Indigenous, gender, and economic justice. Along with the THRIVE Resolution, we’re applying pressure on MoCs to pass critical democracy reforms, like the For the People Act and D.C. statehood without letting the filibuster get in the way. 

2. Ask your representative to co-sponsor the THRIVE Agenda. With the climate crisis continuing to intensify, the economy entering a deep recession, and the need for racial justice and healing being felt as acutely as ever, the case for a Green New Deal-style policymaking is stronger than ever before. 

3. Watch and share our latest video on why relying on the budget reconciliation process in the Senate is unsustainable. Budget reconciliation can be a confusing process, so our latest video explains what reconciliation is, and how the only path forward is to eliminate the filibuster once and for all. 

4. Get a jump start on next week and make a call to support D.C. statehood. Next week is a HUGE week for D.C. statehood! With a bill mark-up, Emancipation Day, and more, we have to make the most of these moments to support this crucial part of democracy reform.

5. Take action for democracy reform with the For the People Project. Check out our For the People Project page to learn more about our plans and find ways to take action.

Thousands of Americans are calling their lawmakers in support of the For The People Act (H.R. 1/S.1) -- a groundbreaking package of voting rights, money in politics, ethics, and anti-gerrymandering reforms.

It’s our best chance in years to make our democracy more accountable and representative. But we can only seize this opportunity if people like you and me speak up right now.

Your Representative, Teresa Leger Fernandez, already supports the For The People Act -- and it’s critical they hear that you appreciate their efforts.

Please call Rep. Fernandez at (202) 225-6190 -- here’s an idea of what to say:

Hi, this is [NAME] from [TOWN], and I’m calling to thank you for continuing to support the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S.1). Please do everything you can to pass the strongest possible bill. Thank you!

The For The People Act passed the U.S. House with unanimous support from House Democrats in 2019, and was cosponsored by all Democratic senators at the time. That means we have a real chance to pass it into law this year, and break through Mitch McConnell’s legislative filibuster.

Here’s why that’s a BIG deal:

The For The People Act protects our right to vote with universal Automatic Voter Registration, Online Voter Registration, and Same Day Registration -- while modernizing our voting systems to make them more secure and accessible.

The For The People Act blocks partisan and racial gerrymandering by setting up independent redistricting commissions to draw legislative maps -- so politicians can’t abuse their redistricting power for their own advantage.

The For The People Act makes democracy more transparent by making secret money organizations disclose their donors, making sure voters know who is paying for the political ads they see, and making sure anyone who violates disclosure rules is held accountable.

The For The People Act gets big money out of politics with a small-donor driven matching funds system -- to let candidates run for office without relying on special interests, and so public officials can better reflect the constituencies they serve.

The For The People Act holds public officials accountable by slowing the revolving door between government and lobbyists, making presidential candidates disclose their tax returns, expanding conflict-of-interest laws to stop corruption, and requiring the Supreme Court to adopt a code of ethics.

Your voice right now is absolutely critical to getting this legislation passed -- so please make your call today >>

Please call Rep. Fernandez at (202) 225-6190 -- here’s an idea of what to say:

Hi, this is [NAME] from [TOWN], and I’m calling to thank you for continuing to support the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S.1). Please do everything you can to pass the strongest possible bill. Thank you!

Even though Donald Trump is no longer president, we can’t afford to go back to "business as usual." That’s what gave us Trump in the first place -- which is why we’re counting on Congress to take big, bold action right now to make sure our democracy serves and includes all of us.
