*[Enwl-eng] One year since HR1...

[ENWL]

A year ago this week, the House of Representatives passed the historic For the People Act of 2019 (H.R. 1). This transformative pro-democracy bill was supported by every House Democrat and co-sponsored by every Democrat in the Senate -- but for the past year, it has stalled in the legislative graveyard on Mitch McConnell’s desk.

But we have good news for you: we’ve partnered with Future Now and 23 lawmakers in 10 states across the country to bring democracy reform to the state level. With the state For the People Act, these lawmakers are making it easier for their residents to vote and participate in democracy -- not more difficult. They are putting in place anti-corruption measures so people can trust their elected officials. And they are reforming campaign finance laws so the public interest has a greater say than corporate special interests.

It’s a big deal. NBC News took note, and we’re proud to share these lawmakers’ efforts with you today. As Future Majority President Mark Riddle said about the effort, “It is critical for the strength of our democracy that we clean up corruption -- not only in Washington -- but also in state capitols across the country. This bold reform is the answer to restoring trust in government and delivering a freer, fairer political process to the American people."

Support our efforts to help fix our democracy

Onward,

The Future Majority Advocacy Team
