Whip Clyburn and Rep. Jones: Don’t let the filibuster stand in the way of voting rights
Former Sen. Doug Jones: “Override the Filibuster to Save Democracy”
LAST WEEK: Dozens of former Senate Chiefs of Staff penned a letter to Congress calling for filibuster reform.
Washington, DC – Today, Fix Our Senate released the following statement in advance of the expected meeting between President Biden and top Senate Democrats to discuss compromise voting rights legislation that would have the support of all 50 Democrats.
“It is great to see President Biden and Senate Democrats making strong progress on critical voting rights legislation that can still get signed into law in time to protect voters in the ‘22 elections and prevent a decade of partisan gerrymandering,” said Eli Zupnick, spokesman for Fix Our Senate. “Time is running out, but as more and more Democrats speak out about the urgent need for reform it’s clear that there is a real path to strong voting rights legislation and tackling the outdated and abused filibuster that stands in the way.”
