In October, the Senate used the filibuster to avoid even discussing the Freedom to Vote Act — the groundbreaking democracy bill that would kick billionaires out of our elections, end gerrymandering, and defend the freedom to vote.

This arcane Senate rule is poisoning our political system by allowing a single senator to block a massively popular voting rights bill from even getting a vote, simply by firing off a text message. The filibuster is not more important than saving our democracy, and Congress must do whatever is necessary to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
