We voted to protect the rights of all Americans, regardless of who they choose to marry, by passing the Respect for Marriage Act.
 

John,

Last week, the Senate lived up to our nation’s highest ideals, and yesterday, the House followed suit:

We voted to protect the rights of all Americans, regardless of who they choose to marry, by passing the Respect for Marriage Act.

And let me tell you I couldn’t have been happier to vote yes.

A tweet saying Cory Booker's loud 'aye' is the 60th vote, and the Senate passes the Respect for Marriage Act.

Now our legislation heads to President Biden’s desk for him to sign into law.

John, add your name as a citizen cosponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act to join me in calling on President Biden to sign our legislation and protect marriage equality today.

ADD YOUR NAME

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s disastrous Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, enshrining marriage equality for all Americans, could be next to go.

A Republican senator even suggested that the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision to protect interracial marriage could also come under threat.

Our resounding bipartisan action shows how, despite these threats, we can overcome a filibuster and our partisan differences to reach consensus.

This is not the end of the struggle for equality and civil rights, but it is an important step forward. It is essential that President Biden signs the Respect for Marriage Act into law without delay.

Add your name as a citizen cosponsor of the Respect for Marriage Act and urge President Biden to sign it into law as soon as possible.

Thank you for speaking up, John. We couldn’t have made this progress without your support.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
