LEARN ABOUT THE STATE OF VOTING RIGHTS AND THE FILIBUSTER
Register for Two Virtual Events Today!
This week is the Faithful Democracy Coalition's "Faith in Democracy Forum," a two-day virtual event to show that people of faith are concerned, engaged, and advocating to strengthen and protect our democracy. We need Congress to feel our urgency to pass the For the People Act into law -- legislation that will protect and advance voting rights for all, especially for people of color, and restore our democracy. NETWORK will be hosting two events during the Forum; details and registration are below.

It is a critical moment to pass the For the People Act if its reforms are to impact the redistricting process and the 2022 Election. Please attend one or both of these virtual sessions so that you are ready to engage in this important work!
