Never has the passage of voting rights legislation at the national level been more important or more essential to preserving our democracy.  The Freedom to Vote Act has been combined with the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and is being debated in the Senate January 18 with a vote possible by January 19.   Now it the time to urge Senators  to alter the filibuster so this legislation can  become law. 

Only a groundswell of public support will push this legislation through the Senate, altering the filibuster if needed.  Find out more about the bill using the resources below.  Then contact your US Senators now, even if you already have, and over and over again, untll they pass this essential voting rights legislation!
