 Trouble Vigils for Democracy on July 17th\n\nAmerica is at a 
 crossroads.\n\nSix months have passed since the failed attack on our nation 
 and our democracy on January 6th. Since that day, anti-voter laws have been 
 passed in states all over the country and the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent 
 rulings have made clear that it will not act to protect the sacred 
 right\nto vote.\n\nThis summer, Congressional districts risk being redrawn 
 in a way that will allow politicians\nto choose their voters - rather than 
 the voters fairly choosing who represents them.\n\nWe have reached an 
 inflection point in which we must force our elected officials to act now or 
 risk losing the very foundation of our republic.\n\nBut there is hope for 
 us to stop this undercurrent of corruption and rebuild American democracy 
 so that the freedom to vote is protected, billionaires don’t control our 
 political systems, and our representatives actually respond to we the 
 people.\n\nTo do this, we must pass the For the People Act, the John Lewis 
 Voting Rights Advancement Act, and D.C. Statehood - and we can’t let 
 anything, including the Jim Crow filibuster, stand in our way!\n\n\nMAIN
