 poor or one emergency away from economic ruin, including more than 70 
 million women of all races, gender, and sexual orientations and faith 
 traditions. Yet, the surge of voter participation in 2018 and 2020 - 
 including among poor and low-wage voters - created majorities in the House 
 and Senate that claimed to want to move the country forward. \n\nThese 
 majorities, the result of many years of organizing, were built on claims to 
 embrace policies that enjoy overwhelming popular support: federal 
 protection of voting rights, \na $15 minimum wage, universal access to 
 healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform and investment in sustainable 
 infrastructure.\n\nBut none of these policies have been enacted because of 
 an extremist minority in the Senate who are using the non-constitutional 
 filibuster to block this constitutional and popular mandate to establish 
 justice and provide for the general welfare.\n\nTherefore, the Poor 
 People’s Campaign and partners are targeting all U.S. Senators in all 
 states regardless of party. Senator Dianne Feinstein has defended the 
 filibuster. She has not committed to abolish it. Senator Alex Padilla is 
 committed to vote for each of these fundamental demands. \n\n\nCA &

 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
