Our democratic values are under siege nationwide. Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act & the For The People Act to ensure all Americans may have a say in our politics.#VoterSuppression will not be tolerated, all politicians pushing these measures must be removed. https://t.co/FEtbQCFran

5.2 million people are barred from voting due to felony disenfranchisement. Tell your representative this can’t wait.

Here is the state of the Democratic Party today: a whopping 119 DEMOCRATS just voted AGAINST restoring voting rights to people in prison. Congress Member @CoriBush heroically tried to add this provision to HR 1. Her own party failed her. We still have so much to teach Democrats. pic.twitter.com/71TYUnTfEb

Voters should get to pick their lawmakers, not the other way.

We must pass the #ForThePeopleAct to end gerrymandering, expand voting rights, and crack down on political corruption. If it’s obstructed by McConnell we must end the filibuster to get it done. https://t.co/EAIwir2JzK
