DEMOCRACY ON THE LINE
5:30-7:30 PM

Join Indivisible Nation BK and more outside Senator Schumer's house. We are  forming a long line of voters at our Senator's doorstep to demand that he unite his WHOLE caucus, end the filibuster and pass S1/For the People Act, to protect voting rights, end partisan gerrymandering and unrig our elections before it's too late. Get more details and sign up here!

FOR THE PEOPLE PHONE BANK
6 PM

Yes, the GOP filibustered. But we can still make this happen. And we have to. Because otherwise, the GOP's attempts to suppress voters they don't like (i.e., anyone who isn't rich), are more likely to succeed. So Common Cause and Swing Left are making sure Joe Manchin knows what's at stake, by calling his constituents and urging them to tell him to get on board.
