Call your Representative tomorrow to ask him to support HR 1, which contains essential reforms of the voting process

Tomorrow, members of the 116th Congress will be sworn in and begin their work to represent their constituents. At the League, we are excited about the new session of Congress and we are proud to support a new piece of legislation--HR1: For the People Act-- which stands to improve American elections by making our elections more free, fair, and accessible to all eligible Americans.  
HR1 includes comprehensive reforms, like restoring the Voting Rights Act, improving Automatic Voter Registration, creating a public financing system through small donor matching funds, overturning Citizens United, ending partisan gerrymandering, and more! This bill will make our elections fairer and put the power back into the hands of the American people and it deserves bipartisan support.  
Voters sent a clear message in the 2018 elections that they are ready for bold, comprehensive democracy reforms. Now we must continue to demand change by speaking out. Call your Representative today and ask them to vote Yes for HR1
