Hi friend,

Happy Friday! Senate Democrats just took a stand for voting rights, defeating a Republican amendment that could have made it harder for millions of Americans to cast their ballots.

There’s more good news today: Democrats are pushing to investigate corruption at DHS, courts are defending due process for immigrants, and grassroots changemakers are making a real difference.
