Please join us outside Senator Feinstein’s San Francisco office at 1 Post Plaza (Post and Market, near Montgomery BART) on Monday, April 5, 2021, 12:00-1:00 PM to urge her to fight for passage of S.1, the For the People Act, in the US Senate.

If you can’t attend in person, please call Senator Feinstein’s office that day.

The bill addresses long-festering problems in the electoral process by making it easier to register and vote, by removing dark money from political campaigns, and by strengthening ethics rules for civil servants. It calls for independent redistricting commissions across the country, similar to California’s, to curtail partisan gerrymandering by state legislatures. It puts limits on the purging of voter rolls, a practice that has been abused in order to suppress the votes of mostly black and minority voters.

And in response to former President Trump’s complete refusal to release his tax returns, the bill compels financial transparency in all future presidential candidates by requiring them to release theirs.

The bill, if passed into law, would counter the nearly 300 state bills that Republicans are pushing in such states as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, and Texas to constrain people’s ability to vote.

H.R.1, the House equivalent of S.1, already passed the US House of Representatives on March 3, 2021. However, S.1 faces fierce opposition by Republicans in the Senate. Senator Feinstein has already expressed support of the For the People Act, and for reforming the Senate’s filibuster to keep Republicans from using it to kill the bill.

On April 5, we'll call on her to fight to secure our democracy through the voting and electoral reforms in the For the People Act—and not allow the Republicans or the Senate filibuster to block passage of the act into law.
