We hoped for 50 Dem votes & we got 'em. Here's what's next:
1) Congess leaves town Thursday for recess & is out til July 12.
2) When they return, they have 3 weeks to pass a bill before August recess.
3) What they hear now will determine what they do then.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Focus on what you personally can do.
Got a good Dem senator? Your goal is to make sure they are champions on this every damn day.
Got a wobbly Dem? Your goal is to stiffen their spine.
GOP senator? Make them famous for voter suppression.
Your local pressure needs to be persistent and overwhelming. Get creative. Get media attention. Make them listen. We can't give you marching orders - it's up to you to figure out the details. But you're not alone, and we're here to help. Join up and lead. deadlinefordemocracy.org
Maybe there's an event near you already. Great, join up. Want to do your own event? Great, now's the time to start planning.
