The House is doing its job & passing bold legislation. Now states are making it harder for Black & Brown people to vote. The Senate must end the Jim Crow filibuster to ensure these bills are enacted into law. #FreedomToVote
The filibuster prevents the Senate from conducting basic business - the People's business. It is time for the Senate to live up to the Constitution’s promise of a government of the people, for the people, by the people. #FreedomToVote
The filibuster protects minority rule in the Senate while laws are being passed that are refusing to protect minority rights in society. #FreedomToVote
The Jim Crow filibuster: "It's not the guarantor of democracy. It has become the death grip of democracy." To ensure our Democratic Republic continues to flourish, we must end the filibuster and #PassFTPA #FreedomToVote
The filibuster promotes obstruction, protects inaction and prevents bipartisanship. It is time for the Senate to get back to doing the People's business. #FreedomToVote
The #ForThePeopleAct directs election officials to manually recount a sufficient number of ballots to ensure that the electronic tally is accurate. It gives every American reassurance that every vote was counted, & counted correctly. #FreedomToVote

For the FIRST time, #ForThePeopleAct would require a code of ethics for the United States Supreme Court. They should be a model for accountability, not an exception. Currently, they are the only ones not governed by a code of conduct. #FreedomToVote
Ensuring the freedom to vote is the heart of the #ForThePeopleAct. It is time to realize the true promise of democracy—a multiracial, inclusive government of the people, by the people, and for the people. #FreedomToVote
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act protects against racial discrimination in voting and any law designed to deny citizens their right to vote. #FreedomToVote

"A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked & justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries & failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option — for peace cannot exist where justice is not served." #FreedomToVote
The District of Columbia is home to more than 700,000 Americans that include firefighters, teachers, small business owners, and veterans. That’s more people than the states of Wyoming and Vermont. It's time to make DC a state. #FreedomToVote
When admitted, DC will have the greatest percentage of Black Americans of any state in the union. Statehood is a clear, and decisive step in the right direction toward racial equity. #FreedomToVote
The majority of DC residents are Black or Brown. And they get no votes in Congress. Something seem wrong? That's because it is. If Congress is fully committed to racial justice, #DCStatehood must be a priority and it must happen soon⏰ #FreedomToVote
Washington D.C. continues to be the “one spot where there is no government for the people, of the people, and by the people." Frederick Douglass No other democratic nation disenfranchises the residents of its capital city. #FreedomToVote
Currently, more than 700,000 residents are living in DC without ANY votes in either chamber of Congress❌ This level of voter suppression is completely unacceptable, yet because DC is labeled a "District" it's become expected. #FreedomToVote
As Congress votes on protecting voting rights voters across the country, they are ignoring the voters DC. #DCStatehood would be a decisive victory to protect Black and Brown voters who currently face complete disenfranchisement❌ #FreedomToVote
Statehood for D.C. is a matter of racial equity. 45% of residents are Black, but they do not have equal representation in Congress. Overwhelmingly white Vermont and Wyoming have 2 senators each, with less total population than D.C. #FreedomToVote
