Support the Reintroduction of the For the People Act (HR 1)

 

The For the People Act (HR 1) is the democracy reform bill the American people want and deserve. This legislation will put power back into the hands of American voters by making voting easier and more accessible and by modernizing future elections. Over the last two years, we saw it pass the House or Representatives, but get stalled at the Senate. With the start of the 117th Congress it is imperative that the For the People Act once more become a top priority. The For the People Act addresses some of the most pressing issues facing our democracy because it will:

  •  Restore the Voting Rights Act
  •  Modernize our voter registration system
  •  Update the public financing of elections through small donor matching funds
  • Curb partisan gerrymandering, and
  • Make campaign contributions more transparent.

Tell your Representative how important this reform package is to the future of our democracy. Contact your Representative* TODAY and implore them to support the reintroduction of the For the People Act. Contact your Representative TODAY through the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to pass the For The People Act.
