19] – Join Common Cause activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support the Freedom to Vote Act, and to eliminate the filibuster. These phone banks are subject to change based on variables. Our democracy is in crisis: with redistricting around the corner and hundreds of voter suppression laws being introduced in states across the country, we do not have time to wait. Call on Thurs., Dec. 30 from 6 to 8 PM and connect DE voters to Sen. Coons to ask that he will do everything possible to pass the Freedom to Vote Act including fixing the filibuster.
