Standing in solidarity with the @LetsUnPAC students on DAY FOUR of their #HungerStrike4Democracy in DC. We urge the US Senate to listen to their demands and pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act!
Un-Pac GW is pleading that the Senate honor the #MLKLegacy by passing the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act to ensure our democracy works for ALL Americans. @LetsUnPAC students are putting their bodies on the line on a #HungerStrike4Democracy. Don't let their sacrifice be in vain!
The Senate may have adjourned for the weekend, but @LetsUnPAC students including the president of Un-PAC GW, Ella, are still putting their bodies on the line on DAY 3 of our renewed #HungerStrike4Democracy, because we cannot wait to pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act!
On Thursday, FORTY @LetsUnPAC students began or restarted their #HungerStrike4Democracy to plead the Senate pass the #FreedomToVote John Lewis Act and save our democracy before it's too late! Our president Ella is with them in DC striking RIGHT NOW!
15 MORE young people joined our #HungerStrike4Democracy today, because we know that the Senate MUST #DeliverForVotingRights. Though the Senate has gone home for the weekend, our fight continues. https://t.co/sFSYpm912n
We would rather go on #HungerStrike4Democracy than live the consequences of a failed democracy (which will happen if the Senate doesn't pass the Freedom To Vote: John Lewis Act.) Senators must stand on the right side of history and #FightForVotingRights.
13 DAYS ago, we started a #HungerStrike4Democracy in Phoenix AZ because the consequences of not passing the #FreedomToVoteAct are far worse than starving.
Now in DC, we remain outside the White House, waiting to meet with @WHCOS & hear about @POTUS's plan to save our democracy.
Today marks one week since we started our #HungerStrike4Democracy. DC is much colder than Phoenix, and our bodies are weakened after 7 days without food, but we will continue until @POTUS and the Senate prioritize passing the #FreedomToVoteAct by the end of the year.
Yesterday, 20 brave young people hunger striking to save our democracy & pass the #FreedomToVoteAct met with @SenatorSinema. Today, we take our #HungerStrikeForDemocracy to DC. @POTUS, please prioritize passage of this bill NOW. Our futures are on the line! #ProtectDemocracyPOTUS
Our live streamed day 4 press conference with veterans and faith leaders is starting soon! FB: https://t.co/s6ifA2nbMA… IG: @AZ4Democracy#AZHungerStrike4Democracy
We're finishing up the third day of our #AZHungerStrike4Democracy.
We're tired and hungry, but we will keep going until @POTUS prioritizes voting rights and the Senate passes the #FreedomToVoteAct. You can support us here: https://t.co/C9fSmkO9oa.
Coming live from the press conference here at the state capitol in Phoenix, AZ on Day 3 of our hunger strike! People are feeling weaker, but we are determined to continue until the Senate passes the #FreedomToVoteAct.
