The filibuster, a “Jim Crow relic” that allows a minority of senators to hold votes hostage, is wreaking havoc on our democracy.
Now, as the Senate seeks to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, Senate Republicans have invoked the filibuster again, thwarting one of the largest democracy reform measures in a generation.
The path forward is clear: The filibuster must be eliminated as a weapon that a handful of senators can wield to veto popular democracy-protecting bills.
Sign if you agree: To reclaim our democracy, we must eliminate the filibuster.
