So much for believing the government closest to the people governs best.

Republican-led states are ramping up efforts to make citizen-led ballot initiatives harder to pass, with Missouri lawmakers approving a bill to raise the threshold for amending the state constitution—pending voter approval. This trend has accelerated, with at least seven states advancing similar legislation and 148 bills introduced in 15 states this year to weaken direct democracy, according to the Fairness Project. The push comes after progressive wins on abortion rights through ballot measures, which succeeded in 7 out of 10 states since 2022. Will new hurdles stop future reforms?

So right now, in #Florida, I'd say we need to get a few #BallotMeasures in place in the next year so we can amend the #Constitution in 2026...

- State Officials may not use state funds or resources for political campaigns, including those against ballot measures or other changes to law.

- The Right to Amend the Constitution of Florida through Ballot Measures shall not be abridged.

- Donations to State Level Political Campaigns shall be limited to Florida Residents, and capped at no more than the payment of 2000 hours at the state minimum wage.

- Any person convicted of Child Sex Trafficking shall be barred from running for or holding any public office in Florida.

We are basically going to need this now, seeing as the governor is aggressively going after our ability to vote things in...

#NewYork
Early voting begins next Monday, October 25th!
While most areas in the state will have local general elections, it's important to pay attention to the 5 statewide #BallotMeasures

Even if you don't have any election races in your community, it's vital to show up and vote on these measures!

Prop 1. Makes changes to the redistricting process statewide. https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_Proposal_1,_Redistricting_Changes_Amendment_(2021)

Prop 2. Creates a state constitutional right to clean air, clean water, and a healthful environment.
https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_Proposal_2,_Environmental_Rights_Amendment_(2021)

Prop 3. Authorizes the legislature to pass a law for same-day voter registration.
https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_Proposal_3,_Remove_10-Day-Advance_Voter_Registration_Requirement_Amendment_(2021)

Prop 4. Authorizes the legislature to pass a law for no-excuse absentee voting.

https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_Proposal_4,_Allow_for_No-Excuse_Absentee_Voting_Amendment_(2021)

Prop 5. Increases the NYC Civil Court's jurisdiction from civil cases involving $25,000 to $50,000
https://ballotpedia.org/New_York_Proposal_5,_NYC_Civil_Court_Jurisdiction_Amendment_(2021)

More than half of these affect the future of voting in NYS. We need to keep working to make voting easier and more accessible for all!
