Team, the 2022 midterms brought us many huge wins for direct democracy — wins like minimum wage increases, Medicaid expansion, protections for abortion, and more.

But these wins for working people have extremist officials across the country worried — they feel so threatened by progress, that they have already introduced dozens of bills across the country to strip voters of the power of direct democracy. 

We can and must fight back → Our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign (BMRC) is a $5 million effort dedicated to stopping attacks on the power of ballot measures in their tracks. Will you sign on now to show your support for the BMRC and our work to defend the power of direct democracy?

ADD YOUR NAME

Earlier this month, an extremist-packed Ohio state legislature voted to refer a measure to the ballot in August that, if passed, would require a 60% approval threshold for any future ballot measures to succeed in the state. And team, Ohio extremists have gone ON RECORD stating that this maneuver is an attempt to keep voters from protecting abortion via ballot measure as soon as this November. 

We know if we are going to decisively shut down these threats to direct democracy, we need to show the strength of this movement and our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign. If you’re with us in the fight to preserve the power of ballot measures, will you add your name to our petition and support our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign today?
