La Ley Para el Pueblo es una oportunidad única en una generación para quitarle el poder a los intereses especiales de los ricos y ponerlo en manos de la gente común. El proyecto de ley, designado como HR 1 y S. 1 en el Congreso, es el paquete legislativo de reforma democrática más audaz y completo presentado en el Congreso en décadas, ya que aborda la ética en el gobierno, el dinero en la política, los derechos de voto, la seguridad electoral y la manipulación de los distritos electorales. 

But I’m sure you have questions about the bill and what’s in it. Below you’ll find many resources from Common Cause and our coalition partners to help you better understand the For the People Act and how it will transform our democracy to be truly of, by, and for the people.
