Ilana Glazer Joins Grassroots to Hold 24 hour "Filibuster to End the Filibuster" Outside Chuck Schumer's Apt

NEW YORK, NY (05/06/2021) (readMedia)-- Grassroots organizations Rise and Resist, Indivisible Nation BK, Common Cause New York and others will be holding a 24 hour filibuster outside Chuck Schumer's Park Slope building to urge him to use all the tools he has as Majority Leader to unite his caucus and end the filibuster.

Ilana Glazer, actress, comedian, and activist, will join from 1pm to 1:30pm on Friday

Dozens of groups from all over the city will "hold the floor" over the 24 hours. Their demand: that Senator Schumer as Senate Majority Leader use every tool at his disposal to unite his caucus to end the filibuster. As he says, "Failure is not an option."

Activists will read from democracy-centric texts ranging from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to recent Presidential Inaugural poems and even sing the First Amendment. Statements from grassroots groups in West Virginia and Arizona, who are livestreaming the event to their members, will also be read.
