Our government should work for us, but the filibuster isn’t working. The Senate’s filibuster is a loophole to grab power and doom legislation the majority of Americans want. 

The longest filibuster ever recorded, by Strom Thurmond, lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes. On August 1 and 2nd in Washington D.C., we flipped that bit of history on its head, singing a new, pro-voter anthem continuously in a variety of styles and with special guests. Everyone from beginners to pros joined in to help keep the song–and our country–alive.

Song Power for the People is an Unstoppable Voters project and a collaboration of Songs for Good, The Peace Poets, Poor People's Campaign and RepresentUs.
