*[Enwl-eng] The filibuster will be our last line of defense under Trump. Democrats must use it.

[ENWL]

                        The stakes could not be higher. Democrats must use the filibuster to protect us.

                        Donald Trump's administration poses a direct threat to human rights, social justice, and the environment. What's even worse is that, following the recent 2024 election, Republicans will now be in control of not only the White House and Supreme Court, but also both chambers of Congress.

                        Right now, the Senate filibuster remains one of the last tools to stop policies that could devastate reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections, racial equity, and the fight against climate change. And Democrats in the Senate must commit to using this tool.

                        The filibuster rule effectively says that legislation and important nominations cannot advance unless 60 Senators or more support it. And since Republicans will only control 53 votes in the Senate, they would need to work together with Democrats. This need for bipartisan support would effectively prevent extreme bills from passing.

                        This is our opportunity to protect what matters most. When it comes to reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ protections, racial justice, voting rights, wildlife conservation, and fighting climate change, Trump's administration has repeatedly promised to attack each and every one.


                        The stakes could not be higher. We need Democratic senators to use the filibuster as a shield to protect our rights and our environment. Sign this petition to demand that Senate Democrats fight back with the filibuster to safeguard human rights, equality, and our planet.

                        P.S. We must demand that Democrats in the Senate stand firm and use every power at their disposal to block harmful legislation. Sign the petition.
