 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
