Add My Name: Sen. Ossoff must stand up for voting rights for Georgia

Senator Jon Ossoff

There’s a pitched battle playing out for voting rights in Georgia -- and if we don’t act now, it could be voters who lose out. I need your help to pass the federal legislation that can solve this problem once and for all.

The Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are two groundbreaking pieces of legislation that could improve our democracy on almost every key front – making huge progress towards governmental accountability, helping end gerrymandering, and protecting our voting rights.

But right now, this critical progress is being blocked by an outdated Senate rule that says a simple majority isn’t enough to pass this key legislation.

This is not what democracy looks like. Even in these polarized times, most Americans and most Georgians -- Republicans, Democrats, and Independents -- agree that making voting more accessible is key to a functioning democracy.

Fortunately, our home state senator, Jon Ossoff, has supported efforts in the Senate to pass the Freedom to Vote Act -- which would make our democracy as a whole, more fair. Now we need him to see this fight through and end the filibuster to protect our right to vote. Can you add your name now to encourage him to keep up the fight and end the filibuster?

Right now, anti-democratic politicians are abusing the filibuster to stop the Freedom to Vote Act from getting a fair up-or-down vote -- making it clear that they think partisan politics should come before equality and democracy.

We cannot let them continue exploiting this Jim Crow relic to rig our democracy, protect corrupt politicians, and more. The Senate must not allow the filibuster to kill the Freedom to Vote Act -- whether that means amending this outdated loophole or abolishing it altogether. We're calling on Sen. Jon Ossoff to act now to end the filibuster and pass meaningful voting rights legislation at the federal level.
