H.R. 1 – For the People Act
League priority for passage

This bill provides for automatic voter registration, small donor public financing, redistricting reform and a commitment to restore the Voting Rights Act.

Passage of H.R. 1 would be the most significant reform in a half century and the most significant change to pass either Chamber. Last year the bill stalled in the Senate.

Federal legislators include Sen. Blunt, Sen. Hawley and Rep. Graves. Rep. Cleaver is a bill sponsor. Links to the legislators below.
