Monthly Call w/ Senator Warner’s Staff

From Nan Dearborn:
1.) Register for this month’s call at https://novagrassroots.org/event-warner-lobby.php.
2.) Make an impact, even when you’re not speaking, by downloading and setting the above image as your zoom background. Last month four of us used this background – Warner’s staff got the message! Now they need to hear it’s still our top priority.
3.) Speak up urging Sen. Warner to do everything in his power to pass S1 – including reforming the filibuster – to protect our freedom to vote, get big money out of politics, ensure fair districts, and help create a democracy that works for all of us.
Majority Leader Schumer has promised us that voting rights will be the first legislative priority when the Senate returns from recess on September 13. The Senate must pass the For the People Act, with or without the filibuster.
