Amidst the most coordinated effort to disenfranchise voters since Jim Crow, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s family is calling for Americans to rise up and demand Congress deliver for voting rights.
Join with Jews and allies all across the country in answering their call to honor Dr. King’s legacy and restore, protect, and expand our freedom to vote. Make sure your Senator hears from you today: Deliver on voting rights now!
Here’s how to take action:
→ Have your phone near you. Complete the form below and you'll get a call that will connect you directly to your senator's office.*
→ Speak with a staffer or leave a voicemail using the script below.
Script:
Hello. My name is ____ and I am calling from (city/town). I’m part of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action and the broader Jewish movement for voting rights.
Inspired by the Jewish imperative to pursue justice and the call to action from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s family, I’m asking Senator (Name) to support the passage of crucial voting rights legislation, including:
- The Freedom to Vote Act
- The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act
- The Protecting Our Democracy Act, and
- The Washington, D.C. Admission Act
I urge Senator (Name) to support this legislation by endorsing a change to Senate filibuster rules, and to communicate that the Senator would support that strategy to Majority Leader Schumer and publicly.
Can you please share my message with Senator ___? We’re counting on (him/her) to restore, protect, and expand the freedom to vote.
Thanks.
*If you live in DC, we share your frustration that you don’t have a senator to call and are advocating for DC Statehood too! We hope you’ll use this tool to call Majority Leader Schumer in his leadership capacity instead.
Many of your senators have already expressed support for changing filibuster rules or are cosponsors on these bills. That's good! We're working to keep up the pressure and make sure they get brought to a vote.
