CALL SCRIPT: Hello, my name is [ ______] and I'm a voter from [your city]. My zip code is [zip code]. I'm calling to thank Senator [Feinstein / Padilla] for supporting S.1 - the For the People Act. I want to urge them to to do everything they can to make sure this crucial pro-democracy bill gets signed into law before Congress goes on recess in August. Thank you. 

MORE INFO: For the People is a must-pass bill that strengthens our democratic systems and norms. It's crucial that we make our voices heard now and get it passed this summer. 

Why is it so important that Congress get this done before the end of July? The For the People Act includes a ton of critically important democracy reforms, including new voter protections and election security provisions that states will need some time to implement prior to the 2022 midterm elections. In addition, the For the People Act includes a provision that bans partisan gerrymandering and requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to draw fair Congressional maps -- in some states, those maps must be drawn and finalized by February 2022.

Now it's time for us to defeat the forces that allowed him to rise and that continue to threaten our democracy.   

To understand the context for the pro-democracy actions the Indivisible movement is prioritizing this year, read the 2021 Indivisible Guide, a blueprint for fixing our democracy.
