The #MichiganSupremeCourt ruled 4-3 the state #Legislature lacked the authority to
#AdoptandAmend petition language for a pair of #BallotInitiatives in 2018. Justices said the tactic is unconstitutional because the Legislature circumvented the petition initiative process in 2018. Increases to #Michigan's standard minimum wage, tipped #MinimumWage & an expansion of the state's earned sick time laws are slated to take effect in February.

[Video] How #KamalaHarris' 2024 #campaign affects #downticket #Democratic #candidates and #BallotInitiatives

The effects of the #shakeup on the #Democratic #presidential #ticket are being felt in the #battle for the #House and #Senate and the #fight over big #issues on the ballot in many states.

Never forget that ever since the fall of #roe, #abortion has been expanded at every chance the #people are given to weigh in directly.

Every time it has been restricted, it is by unelected or unaccountable #Christofascists bringing back laws from the literal 1860s.

If a #nationalban happens, it will be because of #comstock_act rules, and it will be done by people actively hiding their motives to do so. #liberals cannot be trusted to act as a bulwark in this, but #ballotinitiatives are a place to start.

Republican officials are undermining citizen-led ballot initiatives that seek to protect the procedure. Ohio is the latest state to get protections on the November ballot.

Getting issues onto ballots is a vital part of a healthy democracy and one of the best ways to protect our rights, protect the vote, protect bodily autonomy, expand and protect healthcare, and so much more.

Ballot Initiatives can work even in more currently conservative-run states like Kansas (abortion rights) and Oklahoma (Medicaid expansion.)

Here's a great organization to get involved with to help get important issues on the ballot in your area. Check it out, share it, and get involved. #ElectionsMatter #BallotInitiatives
