 \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
