On Tues., Sept. 28 from 10 to 11 AM ET, join the Korean Economic Institute for a discussion with Dr. Kongdan “Katy” Oh on North Korea’s military, foreign policy, economy, and society.

30] – James Jameson, RepresentUs [hq@represent.us] wants you to join a phone bank on Tues., Sept. 28 from 5:30 to 8 PM ET. Make calls for the Freedom to Vote Act. Sign up at https://vol.represent.us/a/pb_092121?akid=150392.680940.rFfsIK&ms=ak-em-pdf-20210917&rd=1&t=9&utm_campaign=pdf&utm_content=20210917&utm_medium=em&utm_source=ak&utm_term=. Senator Manchin just released the groundbreaking Freedom to Vote Act this week. It would make Election Day a federal holiday, ban gerrymandering, and put an end to dark money. But with the Senate vote coming in a matter of days, not enough senators have heard from their constituents pushing them to pass the bill. The Freedom to Vote Act is brand new, so there’s a lack of awareness by both constituents and senators about this legislation – and if we don't demonstrate massive support for it, the bill could fail.
