The Senate must abolish the filibuster in order to restore democracy. We elected a new president and a new congress to make bold, transformational change. Without a rule change or removal of the filibuster we will not see:

​

• H.R. 1, the For the People Act of 2021

• John Lewis Voting Rights Act

• The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act

• The Dream and Promise Act

• The No Ban Act

• The U.S. Citizenship Act

• Bipartisan Background Checks

• Equality Act

• Medicare for All

• Washington DC Admission Act

• Equal Rights Act

• Violence Against Women Act

• Reforms to the Supreme Court and Lower Courts
