 \n\n_______________________________________________________________\n\nWomen-led 
 Protest March & Rally in D.C.\n\nOne hundred women from all over the 
 country will lead a protest march in Washington DC on the anniversary of 
 the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848—the first women’s rights convention 
 in the US.  A delegation from California will be part of this historic 
 event. \n\nDEMANDS:\n\n1. End the filibuster\n2. Pass all provisions of the 
 For the People Act\n3. Fully restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act\n4. Raise 
 the federal minimum wage to $15/hr.\n\nYou can join them in spirit and 
 online, and you can add your name to an open letter we're sending to the 
 Senate and the White House.\n\nDuring the Seneca Falls Convention on July 
 19, 1848, participants discussed the social, \ncivil and religious 
 condition of women, their right to participate in democracy and the 
 substantive rights that true democracy grants. They issued a Declaration of 
 Sentiments, signed by 100 participants, to reclaim these rights. \n\nNow 
 173 years later, we are witnessing an historic crisis of democracy that 
 threatens our ability to realize the great promise of this country. Our 
 elected officials continue to suppress our votes and use procedural tactics 
 like the filibuster to sidestep their Constitutional responsibilities to 
 establish justice and provide for the general welfare.\n\nHence this event, 
 where a diverse gathering of women will engage in nonviolent moral civil 
 disobedience. Drawing on the spirit of the Declaration of Sentiments from 
 1848, we will also release a statement from the women taking action 
 together.\n___________________________________________________________\n\nCALL 
 TO ACTION\n\nThe PPC released a letter to US senators demanding an end to 
 the filibuster rule.\n\nLETTER STATES: “The filibuster has been used to 
 block civil rights, labor rights, voting rights, living wages, healthcare 
 access, especially for poor and low-wealth Black, Brown, White, Asian and 
 Indigenous people. The filibuster continues to facilitate idolatrous policy 
 platforms about who deserves to thrive and who does not.”\n\nCalifornians 
 can, with a few clicks, send the letter directly to Senators Padilla and 
 Feinstein.\n\nJoin in emailing this letter to our senators to demand an end 
 to the filibuster (easy 
 peasy!):\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/letters/call-to-conscience-dont-filibuster-democracy\n\n\nOr, 
 call or email them directly to demand:\n\n1. End the filibuster\n2. Pass 
 all provisions of the For the People Act\n3. Fully restore the 1965 Voting 
 Rights Act\n4. Raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr.\n\nClick here to
