President Biden was elected to improve our democracy; one way he can do so is by speaking out in support of the #ForThePeopleAct, which would force politicians to respond to the needs of Americans rather than wealthy corporations. Sign the petition: https://t.co/g8bpQ2XENB

“John Lewis...dedicated his life to expanding and protecting the right to vote. He was attacked for it. And he was elected, in part, to help preserve it. He ultimately helped write part of the bill that Democrats are now pushing to enact.” #ForThePeopleAct
