'Fix Our Senate' Fights For End To Filibuster

A coalition of more than 40 progressive groups—Just Democracy—is ramping up the pressure on Majority Leader Chuck Schumer by running a digital billboard in New York's Times Square—the heart of Schumer's district—urging him to end the Senate filibuster. The filibuster rule requires most legislation to reach 60 votes to pass in the Senate. The coalition—made up of over 40 grassroots civil rights and social justice groups from around the country—created and paid for the week-long billboard starting Monday. Just Democracy tweeted Sunday that the billboard was previewed on NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier in the day: .@MeetThePress unveiled our new billboard to @SenatorDurbin.
