Call your Senators RIGHT NOW
Feb. 27th, 2025 06:30 amRepublican Senators will file TODAY for cloture on SB-9, an anti-trans bill in the US Senate. The actual vote could be today, tomorrow, or Monday. Axios reports it’s probably Monday, BUT IT COULD BE TODAY.
What does this mean and why is it bad?
Cloture is Senate noises for ending debate. Ending debate requires 60 votes, which means the Republicans can’t win this vote by themselves. They need seven (7) Democrats to defect. Unfortunately, some of them are very wibbly. At least a few will go over. We have to keep it down to six or fewer.
If the Republicans can force cloture now, then they’ll be able to pass the bill later on a party-line vote whenever they want, and it won’t take long.
This is where we stop this bill. Not later. Here. Now. If this vote goes through, then the bill itself can be approved with only Republican votes, and it will be.
So contact your Senators TODAY. February 27, 2025. TODAY. Thursday. TODAY.
Preferably in the morning, because while the vote is probably Monday, you just don’t know with these fucks.
If you don’t know who your Senators are or how to call them, here’s a tool to find out.
If you don’t know what to say, here’s a script. But try to put it in your own words. It’s always better if you’re not reading a script.
CALL YOUR SENATORS. TODAY. SAY NO TO CLOTURE ON SB-9, the so-called “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025,” an explicit anti-trans hate bill. TODAY.
