The For the People Act is supported by 83 percent of US voters, and both the redistricting and Disclose Act components have broad bipartisan support in Congress. The For the People Act includes comprehensive, commonsense reforms to our democracy that ensure every American has the freedom to vote, regardless of their zip code or background. It also bans partisan gerrymandering, reduces government corruption, and curbs the influence of big money donors on elections and the electoral process.

WASHINGTON, DC -- Today, the Senate approved the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act — a deal that falls short of providing the climate, jobs, care, and justice investments our communities need and deserve. For example, the deal would leave three out of four lead pipes in place and only replace 4% of diesel school buses with clean electric vehicles.
