The Freedom to Vote Act (S. 2747) would, among other things, create national standards so we can safely and freely cast our votes, make Election Day a public holiday, and ensure that every state offers same-day voter registration at all polling locations by 2024 (and at a limited number by 2022).
Oct. 17-23 is National Safe Schools Week. The House has passed two bills that would help make our schools safer, but the Senate has not acted on either of them.
The Keep Our Pact Act (S. 72/H.R. 764) would create a mandatory 10-year path to fully funding both Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), critical programs for the students most in need.
