Joe Biden: Assemble a Democracy Reform Task Force
.png)
Joe Biden needs to prioritize democracy reform. Just as he assembled task forces to address key issues like health care, immigration, and climate change -- Biden must now create a Democracy Reform Task Force, which will work on defending and strengthening our democracy.
Why is this important?
Blatant voter suppression efforts in states like Wisconsin and Georgia. Corporations pouring unlimited money into our elections through super PACs. Elected officials hiding behind weak disclosure laws.
Our democracy is facing serious challenges -- and the American people need a president who is ready to face them head on.
Joe Biden’s campaign teamed up with former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to assemble and collaborate with a collection of six “task forces.” These working groups are comprised of members of Congress and subject experts -- and they address crucial issues: health care, immigration, criminal justice reform, education, climate change, and the economy.
Notably absent from this list? Democracy reform.
Biden called democracy the “wellspring of our power.” He claims that if elected, he’ll fight to restore the Voting Rights Act, overturn Citizens United, and more. [1]
But if democracy reform is really a priority for Biden and his campaign -- they must invest time, manpower, and resources into it. Just like he assembled strategists to develop the best environmental and economic policies, Biden must also consult a team of experts to form a plan to strengthen our democracy.
After all -- we can’t make any progress on the issues we care about in a rigged democracy. If you agree that Biden must form a Democracy Reform Task Force, add your name now.
