Every Voice

Because in American democracy,
every voice should be heard.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

"It makes me sad, it makes me feel like crying, when people are denied the right to vote.”

500 days ago, moments before the House passed #HR1, John Lewis spoke powerfully on the House floor. 500 days later, McConnell is blocking the bill.

Honor John Lewis. Strengthen democracy.

[Rep. Katie Hill @RepKatieHill]

Today is historic.

Today, we are passing a sweeping package of democracy reform so we can finally take back our government #ForThePeople and fight for true transparency and accountability in Washington.

We need big change and #HR1 is a big first step.

[Every Voice @EveryVoice]

Thank you to all Every Voice members who signed the petition in support of #HR1! Our members have been organizing, supporting, and voting for small-donor public financing for elections for years, and it's wonderful to see it come to a vote in the House today. #ForThePeople

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

We and allies just delivered 700,000 petitions to members of Congress ahead of today’s historic #HR1 vote. We’re on the cusp of a revolutionary victory for democracy.

TODAY: The House is voting on #HR1 — the most sweeping, fundamental and far-reaching pro-democracy, anti-corruption legislation our country has seen since the passage of the Voting Rights Act.

This is a historic moment.

Call Congress now: [phone]

[Stand Up America @StandUpAmerica]

The House will vote THIS WEEK on #HR1, an anti-corruption bill that includes a small-dollar matching system!

We get it: "Small-dollar matching system" sounds confusing. But it's a simple idea with HUGE impact.

What you should know about small-dollar matching before the vote:

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Corruption and special interest greed in Washington have undermined everything we care about: Protecting our planet. Keeping our families safe from gun violence. Ensuring the integrity of our elections. It's time to get back on track. It's time to end Citizens United. #HR1

[. @GregTSargent]

Good @EJDionne piece debunking the ultra-super-savvy take that HR 1 is a "messaging bill" for Dems, simply because Senate Rs won't vote on it. No, it's an effort to craft a serious response to the current moment's threats to democracy:

[Adam Smith @asmith83]

Great to hear @RepKatiePorter on the floor this morning talking about #HR1 and her bill to allow more people like her - single moms - run for and win office.

"Our voluntary decision to reject corporate money won’t on its own address the structural inequities in our democracy" @RepJasonCrow & @RepGolden on the power of the reforms in #HR1 #ForThePeople: https://t.co/rQcZOHUtsU

[EJ Dionne @EJDionne]

We obsess over #Trump, but what about reforms to deal with his corruption & make democracy work? Here's a challenge to citizens and the media alike: Pay attention to this week's House debate over #HR1's protections to voters & unbought government

[Archived: Rep. Joe Cunningham @RepCunningham]

We're voting on #HR1 this week, the most sweeping anti-corruption
legislation in my lifetime. Elected officials should work for YOU, not special interests and big corporations. This bill:
✔️Protects your right to vote
✔️ Ends the dominance of big money
✔️Tackles corruption

[Every Voice @EveryVoice]

.@RepVeasey on why we need the #ForThePeople Act: "H.R. 1 will increase access to the ballot box, end gerrymandering, and limit the influence of big money in politics." https://t.co/RHkqxNv1KW … #HR1 @crookedmedia

[California Environmental Voters @envirovoters]

ACTION NEEDED: #HR1 is a bold first step towards restoring faith in our democracy and ensuring that it works #ForThePeople, not corporate polluters. Congress will vote on the bill this week.

Call your member of Congress now & urge them to support it.

"I believe H.R. 1 constitutes a positive power grab by the American people to return the power of “one man, one vote” back where it belongs — in the hands of the American people." https://t.co/Ir02YTE29b #HR1 #ForThePeople

[Let America Vote @LetAmericaVote]

Registration is a barrier with arbitrary deadlines ahead of elections. If eligible Americans are automatically registered to vote, that's one less thing keeping them from casting their ballots. That’s why we support #HR1!

[͏Postcards4USA 🟧 @postcards4USA]

The House will be voting on #HR1, the FOR THE PEOPLE Act, this week.
Here is a GoogleDoc with summary & everything you need to know.
(More than you want to know about it - lotsa links)
But, it's a pretty amazing, inspiring & hopeful Bill.
