People For Members Grow Voting Rights Movement

People For in Action

In 2021, we saw the greatest wave of voter suppression bills since the rise of Jim Crow. Over and over again, Senate Republicans abused the filibuster to prevent critical voting rights legislation from even being debated, let alone passed.

We have been urging President Biden to take action – and after three months of events at the White House, he is now listening. People For President Ben Jealous narrates the story of how we grew our voting rights movement this year with help from members and activists nationwide – and how we can keep the fight going until those protections are passed.
