FOR THE PEOP TOWN HALL WITH SEN. SCHUMER

Let’s tell Chuck Schumer to corral Joe Manchin, and the rest of his caucus, channel his inner LBJ, and pass the For the People Act! Otherwise, we risk losing everything we all worked so hard to get.

FIGHT VOTER SUPPRESSION
3 PM - 6 PM
Phone-bank on Center for Common Ground and Common Cause campaigns:
fight state-level voter-suppression laws
pass the For The People Act (S1/HR1)
work to register voters, or get out the vote (GOTV)
S1 prevents locking in partisan gerrymandered districts for 10 years! And, it would expose donors who pay for shady political ads, increase the impact of small grass-roots donors, and impose a code of ethical standards on elected officials. It would also make voting easier and more secure.
US Senators Sinema and Manchin are critical to passing S1.
The calling tool will automatically connect voters to their offices, to urge the Senators to do what is necessary to pass S1.
