It is deeply disappointing that a handful of Senators didn’t have the courage to do what is right, and now Black and Brown Americans will pay the price. This is a setback on the long road to justice but the road continues on.
We thank
@SpeakerPelosi
and
@SenSchumer
for their perseverance on this issue and for putting the vote on the floor to force Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema to go on the record with their opposition to saving our democracy — history will remember their shameful choice.
For the Black and Brown organizers who we join in the call for justice, we will keep fighting. For the grandmother in West Virginia who’s been purged from voter rolls, we will keep fighting.
For the Native man on a reservation in Arizona who will have to travel 20 miles to vote — even though he doesn’t have access to transportation — we will keep fighting.
For the mother who will wait 10 hours to vote in Atlanta with her children by her side and her bag full of water and snacks because it’s illegal to pass out food and water to voters — we will keep fighting.

I think we all will. This is about ONLY allowing Republican votes to count so they can just end democracy for good (bad). Like they've ended Senate deliberation. End of progress.
