Support Adam Schiff's legislation to protect our democracy from future Trumpian abuse!

Donald Trump’s time in the White House took a devastating toll on our democracy. On the rule of law. And on the truth. All because of one man, who abused the powers of the presidency and inflicted chaos.
We can never allow another person like Trump to wreak havoc on our republic, which is why Rep. Adam Schiff is introducing a major reform bill to ensure that no future president can do the kind of damage Trump has done — ever again.
Add your name if you agree that we desperately need to pass a new set of reforms to stop future presidents from abusing the power of the presidency!
Schiff’s Protecting Our Democracy Act is an ambitious set of reforms that would enshrine our democratic guardrails into law. No longer a suggestion. But a code. It would create greater accountability and transparency, protect our elections, and be a restoration of our system of checks and balances.
With President Biden in the White House and Democratic majorities in Congress for the first time in a decade, we have a narrow window of opportunity to protect our democracy from presidential abuses of power. We must seize this moment.

Demand the House pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to enshrine Roe v. Wade into law!

The Supreme Court’s right-wing majority just refused to block Texas’s unconscionable new law that bans abortion after only 6 weeks — a stage when most women don’t yet know they are pregnant. It’s unconscionable.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote:
“This equates to a near-categorical ban on abortions…Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand.”
Amen. A 5-4 majority dominated by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s hand-picked justices has effectively overturned Roe v. Wade in Texas. They were just too cowardly to do it outright. But in effect, that’s exactly what this ruling does.
If that’s not bad enough, this law places a $10,000 bounty on anyone who assists somebody getting an abortion, even the person driving them to the clinic. And a case being heard this fall brought by the Mississippi attorney general to the Supreme Court could end up overturning Roe v. Wade for good.
Already, Florida Republicans are eagerly writing their own laws modeled off of the Texas ban with even more states ready to follow suit. Like their fanatical crusade against voting rights, Republicans have introduced more than 500 anti-choice bills in state legislatures this year alone: limiting reproductive freedom, restricting access to safe and legal abortion, or outright banning it.
This is just the start, unfortunately. Which is why it’s so important that we show right now that we won’t accept these unconstitutional rulings — Congress must act to enshrine the right to abortion now.

Join Adam Schiff in calling for an end to the filibuster!

You didn’t work so hard in the midterms to allow Mitch McConnell to rule the Senate from the minority. You fought for change. For health care. For our environment. For better lives for Americans struggling across the country. And most importantly, for our democracy to survive.
It’s never been more clear that we need to abolish the filibuster in order to enact the change we seek and need to save our democracy.
Sadly, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans will filibuster the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in a desperate attempt to bury another key piece of our agenda in McConnell’s legislative graveyard. We cannot let them get away with it again, which is why we must press forward with reforming or outright ending the filibuster in the Senate.
So, I’m personally asking you — join me in calling on the Senate to end the filibuster so we can advance important, pro-democracy reforms like the Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect our most fundamental right.
We must never let our guard down when it comes to protecting our democracy — just like John Lewis taught us for decades. Let’s keep up his fight.
