ECU // LAV and NDRC Launch Historic $30 Million Campaign to Pass For the People Act

Washington, DC, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — End Citizens United // Let America Vote Action Fund and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) today launched an historic nationwide campaign to pass the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1)––a critical reform package to get dark money out of politics, crack down on corruption, end partisan gerrymandering, protect voting rights and ensure elections are accurate.

ECU // LAV Action Fund and NDRC are investing $30 million in television and digital advertising, major grassroots activation, including putting boots on the ground in key states, and grasstops education and outreach. The campaign will fund key national and local allied organizations – from good government and voting rights groups to a wide array of issue advocacy groups. This historic investment will harness the grassroots energy for unrigging the system in Washington to make it work for everyone, not just those on top, and will make it clear to the Senate that we must pass this bill.

“Washington has never been more broken. Special interests have too much power and influence and there is an assault on the right to vote. The For the People Act is the antidote, and Americans across party lines want it passed into law,” said ECU // LAV President Tiffany Muller. “That’s why we’re launching an historic nationwide campaign along with NDRC to mobilize millions of Americans to urge the Senate to make the For the People Act law.”

“We’re partnering with ECU // LAV on this historic campaign to strengthen our democracy by fighting back against voter suppression and gerrymandering,” said NDRC President Kelly Ward Burton. “There is an all out assault on voting rights taking place in state legislatures across the country and the For the People Act will put our country back on the right track. If we ban gerrymandering, protect the right to vote, and give power back to the people, we can have a government that starts prioritizing the needs of its constituents instead of the special interests.”

A recent poll, commissioned by ECU // LAV Action Fund and NDRC and conducted by Global Strategy Group and ALG Research, shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans across party lines support the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1). The poll found that 83 percent of Americans across party lines support the For the People Act. Specific reforms within the For the People Act are overwhelmingly popular, with most provisions receiving 90 percent or higher in support.

The For the People Act will:

FIGHT BIG MONEY IN POLITICS: take on the power of special interests, end dark money, and ensure public officials are working in the public interest.

END EXTREME PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING: create a non-partisan, open process to draw transparent and fair congressional district maps.

EXPAND VOTING RIGHTS: ensure we have secure, accurate elections and stop voter suppression efforts designed to stop people from voting based on who they will vote for.

HOLD ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE: implement tougher ethics laws to ensure elected officials are held accountable.

Over the last several years, ECU // LAV Action Fund has advocated for the passage of the For the People Act through a nationwide grassroots campaign, paid communications, and partnerships with allied groups, candidates, and members of Congress. H.R. 1 has now been co-sponsored by every House Democrat two congressional sessions in a row. The Senate Democratic majority has also designated the legislation S. 1, the caucus’ first bill of the new Congress.

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee, chaired by the 82nd Attorney General of the United States Eric H. Holder, Jr., is the first-ever strategic hub for a comprehensive redistricting strategy. Launched in 2017, NDRC is attacking gerrymandering and voter suppression from every angle to ensure that the next round of redistricting is fair and results in maps that reflect the will of the voters. The NDRC has supported the creation of independent commissions or reforms to the redistricting process because we believe that is the best way to redistricting. We are working to rebuild our democracy so voters can choose their elected officials—not the other way around.

Plan Ahead for Safety: Collegeboxes Discounting Services for Student Move-Outs

Discount codes good through April 15 to help students avoid big crowds on campus

PR Newswire

PHOENIX, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Collegeboxes®, a division of U-Haul®, is encouraging students living on campus to plan for safety by packing and storing or shipping their belongings early, avoiding the moving congestion of finals and graduation weeks.

To promote safe distancing and shrink foot traffic at campus housing facilities when the spring term ends, Collegeboxes is announcing two big discounts for students who proactively secure storage and shipping services.

Students placing orders at Collegeboxes.com and using the code “STORE20” will receive 20% off storage fees for the entire summer when scheduling a socially distanced on-campus pickup. Collegeboxes will deliver students’ items to a secure U-Haul facility until the fall term.

Students can also use the code “SHIP10” to receive 10% off shipping fees to have Collegeboxes direct ship their belongings home – or to any address in the world.

The discount codes are valid for orders placed March 15 through April 15. Customers enter their codes during sign-up when providing their billing information.

“For students on campus during spring break, we suggest spring cleaning and early packing,” said Dain Howell, Director of Collegeboxes. “You can ship items home now or pack things for summer storage – winter items that are no longer needed, and other belongings you can do without the final six weeks of school. We can have boxes delivered to your door and picked up outside your door, with no contact, if that is your preference.”

The promotion is a way to reward students who plan ahead and make safe choices to minimize crowds during a traditionally busy time, Howell noted. “When items are shipped or stored, students can take their last test, or go to their graduation ceremony, and then leave campus with their essentials in a backpack and a suitcase. This makes the move-out process easy for everyone, including the colleges.”

Students enrolled at Collegeboxes full-service schools have access to the program’s signature service, which includes scheduled pick-up dates on campus for storage and shipping. These dates are posted at Stanford University, the University of Tennessee and hundreds of other schools.

Students at all other schools can utilize the direct shipping service. This service simplifies shipping by providing boxes from Collegeboxes delivered to their door. Students print shipping labels and have their items picked up from their residence on a day they schedule from their account; or students can choose to drop their boxes at the nearest FedEx® store.

National Seating & Mobility CEO Bill Mixon Receives Patriot Award

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Seating & Mobility (NSM), North America’s largest provider of comprehensive mobility solutions, announced that Bill Mixon, NSM CEO, has been named a recipient of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve’s (ESGR) Patriot Award.

“I am honored to receive ESGR’s Patriot Award,” Mixon said. “As a veteran, it is of the utmost importance that NSM is committed to supporting those who serve this country. The freedom and opportunities we have are possible because of the sacrifices our service members have made in the past and make every day.”

The Patriot Award honors individual supervisors who have directly supported Service members and their families through actions such as allowing flexible schedules, providing time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting leaves of absence if needed. Supervisors must be nominated by an employee serving in the Guard or Reserve or the spouse of a Guard or Reserve member.

Mixon credits his service as an officer and helicopter pilot in the United States Army for his leadership skills, approach and philosophy.

“The skills and talents of NSM team members who are service members enriches our company and strengthens our mission,” added Mixon. “I respect their dedication to serve our clients and this country.”

In 2020, ESGR received more than 7,500 Patriot Award nominations. The ESGR awards program, which consists of seven awards, is designed to recognize employers for creating work environments that develop and support employees who serve in the Guard or Reserve.

Volunteers, hailing from small business and industry, government, education, and prior military service bring a vast wealth of experience to assist in serving employers, Service members, and their families. Together with Headquarters ESGR staff and a small cadre of support staff for each State Committee, volunteers work to promote and enhance employer support for military service in the Guard and Reserve.
