 Rights\n\nhttps://deadlinefordemocracy.org/\n\nJuly is the deadline for our 
 democracy! If we want a functioning democracy, we must pass the S1: For the 
 People Act for voting rights and protections, which 
 includes:\n\n--Increasing the number of drop-off boxes\n--Requiring 
 no-excuse absentee voting\n--Establishing automatic voter 
 registration\n--Banning partisan gerrymandering and requiring independent 
 redistricting commissions to draw congressional maps\n\nWhatever our color, 
 background or zip code, most of us believe that voters should pick our 
 leaders—our leaders do not get to pick their voters. When it comes to our 
 elections, we want a transparent process we can trust, where Americans have 
 equal freedom to vote, whether we live in a small town or big city, the 
 south or the north.\n\nBut today, a handful of extremist politicians have 
 put up barriers to silence our voices based on what we look like or where 
 we live. It’s time for national standards for voting so all of us have a 
 say in key decisions like affordable care, quality jobs, and a healthy 
 future.\n\nTogether, we can ensure Americans can safely and freely cast our 
 ballots so that every voice is heard and our elections reflect the will of 
 the people.\n\nHowever, there is a political time crunch. The House of 
 Representatives goes on the longest recess of the year at the end of July. 
 They won’t be fully back until September 20th. It’s hard to see space 
 for democracy reform this year after the August recess.\n\nSo every day, we 
 get closer to a very real deadline to take action to pass\nthe S.1 For the 
 People Act—a deadline for democracy!\n________________\n\nABOUT: Deadline
