When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.“The Poor People’s Campaign announced on Monday the beginning of a weeks-long push calling on Congress to end the Senate filibuster and pass voting rights legislation, with a particular focus on senators like Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema.”
Anti-poverty advocates urge Sinema to act on voting rights, minimum wage, filibuster

The 2 houses passed bills to give Israel 20 million A DAY & Bye Don is expected to sign it. Israel already gets $11 million A DAY of our taxes. Bernie, the squad with AOC are fighting it. Bye Don wants to give more ammo to Israel in their genocide of Palestinians.
“Go to Texas, do a major speech and meet with activists and the moral leaders of all races and colors and creeds on the ground. Then go to Arizona, go to West Virginia and make the case for the ending of the filibuster to pass these four things, three things, the For The People Act, the expansion of the Voting Rights Act, and the minimum wage of $15." -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II

President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from Black civil rights leaders to take an aggressive stance on Congress eliminating the filibuster and passing federal legislation that would protect voters as the President prepares to deliver a major speech on voting rights Tuesday.Corporate-owned Democrats like Biden,Harris,Mancin,Warner,Mancini,,, etc will lose Democratic seats at the midterms AND the Presidency in 2024 if they continue to put their donors $$$ before the will of the people who elected the platform they ran on in 2020. If Biden doesn't show some courage and get his Party on board with those changes, the future looks horrible for America. End the filibuster NOW! Lift the Cuban embargo NOW, Medicare for All and end student debt NOW, $15/hr minimum wage NOW!!! DISGUSTING how our faith in these leaders is being BETRAYED!!!
Listen folks, we BIPOC, are tired of saving democracy, especially in light of the fact democratic institutions do little on our behalf. We represent a small fraction of this fragile union and the only truth that is self evident; is that if you folks don't start doing some heavy lifting, "your democracy, " will and is going to implode upon itself !!!! Time for you'll to get busy. In case you were wondering you might want to start with your local, state and federal elected officials and then do something about your twisted judicial system. As far as local school boards fighting over critical race theory; well let's just say one has to be analytical and critical to begin with.... Just saying !
I had a feeling like Biden wasnt going to go for a second term.
If we’re for the people then we’re against the filibuster. Amen
Agreed the filibuster and the Electoral College both must go
I think the corporate control democrat establishment party does not not want the fillabuster to change because they would not have any more ( corporate republican party establishment) excuses to implement public policies to better the lives of working people over america
He can be a one term President like Trump.
He's a corporate Democrat, why would he speak against the filibuster!
True
Socialism or barbarism, we get to choose my friends
Black people were the only group to vote overwhelmingly for joe biden, if he fails to do this, the dems will never, ever win another election.

That's why voting rights are such a high priority for the #PoorPeoplesCampaign -- and why they were such a high priority for Dr. King when he launched it originally in 1968. They didn't march from Selma to Montgomery for nothing.
