Urgent! Tell Rep Cawthorn to support the For The People Act on Monday, the 11th
What is HR1? It’s the For the People Act, the boldest democratic reform since Watergate with the most expansive reform agenda in more than 50 years. It’s a once-in-a-generation democracy reform package to clean up our political system, expand and protect voting rights, end gerrymandering, and counter the power of big money in politics.
When HR1 is passed, we’ll see rapid progress on the issues we care about most like combating climate change, ensuring affordable healthcare for all, and fighting for racial justice. Read the complete text of the bill here. The House has re-introduced the bill and we hope it will come up for a vote soon.
Indivisible AVL is working with the national coalition, the Declaration for American Democracy, on this issue. They’re asking everyone to call their legislators and ask them to vote for HR1. Please call Representative Cawthorn on Monday, the 11th, and tell him to vote for HR1.
