To: Federal, state and local candidates, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
Candidates: Release your plans for our democracy!
It’s time to fix democracy by strengthening voting rights, fighting big money through small-donor elections, and ending gerrymandering. I call on my federal, state, and local candidates to campaign on their plans to create the democracy we deserve, where everyone’s voice is heard and everyone’s vote is counted.
Why is this important?
Our democracy only works when it’s working for all of us, but right now, the rules are rigged against us. That’s why as part of Fix Democracy Now week, from July 29 - August 4th, we’re pushing candidates and leaders to campaign on their plans to fix our democracy. We’ve already seen new candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez win primaries by highlighting their plans to fight big money, and more and more candidates are speaking out every day. Sign on and encourage even more candidates to release their plans, so we can hold them accountable for acting to fix our democracy once they’re in office, and make it so powerful Congressional leaders can’t ignore our calls for real reform. We need leaders who are ready to stand up and fight for a democracy of, by, and for the people – add your voice to encourage them to speak out.
