« On n'a pas besoin des #Américains pour savoir comment voter »

On n'a surtout pas besoin de #Musk ni des #MAGA ni de leur clique.

Eux, qui trichent sur le #processus #électoral, avec le #Save #America #Act pour modifier à leur avantage les résultats, surtout pas de leçon de démocratie, ni de conseils

A #strong #democracy and trusted #electoral #system are foundational requirements for progress on any number of issues.

Donors who haven’t funded in this area, or see democracy issues as outside their interests, should
❇️ take a wider view of how to advance their values.

Donors who already support work on voting and elections should
❇️ consider ramping up their giving during this period of growing threats to U.S. democracy

⭐️Where to Donate for Voting Rights and Democracy

♦️♦️Organizations focused on protecting and strengthening electoral systems.

Donors must first and foremost invest in shoring up the democratic system in the short term.

This means supporting #legal #efforts to
👉push back on unfounded claims of fraud as well as
👉challenging unfair election laws.

Funding for this strategy should also go to groups focused on
👉making voting easier and more accessible,
advocating for policies like
👉expanded early voting,
👉automatic and same day registration, and the
👉repeal of felony disenfranchisement laws.

On the legal side, donors can support the
🔹Brennan Center for Justice, https://www.brennancenter.org/
🔹NAACP Legal Defense Fund, https://naacpldf.org/
🔹Demos https://www.demos.org/
🔹and Campaign Legal Center https://campaignlegal.org/

All four groups engage in #litigation, #research and #policy advocacy.

♦️♦️Organizing for a more expansive and inclusive democracy.

🆘 Low-income people, communities of color and young people participate in elections and civic life at lower levels than the general public.

✅ To create a more representative democracy and advance progressive change, donors should invest in organizations that work to engage these voters.

Groups like
🔹Community Change https://www.communitychange.org/
🔹and Center for Popular Democracy https://www.populardemocracy.org/

both work with and support #grassroots groups and leaders throughout the country,
with a focus on #working #class #communities of #color.

Donors can also support the
🔹Voter Participation Center and its c4 arm,
the 🔹Center for Voter Information, https://www.centerforvoterinformation.org/

which work to increase turnout among “#new #American #majority” voters,

as well as support groups focused on #young #voters,
such as
🔹NextGen America https://nextgenamerica.org/
and
🔹TurnUp https://www.turnup.us/

♦️♦️Groups advocating for democratic reforms.

A range of reforms can help create a democracy that is more responsive,
offering voters more choices and fostering fairer outcomes as well as increased trust in our electoral system.

Donors can support
🔹FairVote, https://fairvote.org/

which advocates for #ranked #choice voting and #proportional #representation,
and has already had some success at the state and local levels;
and
🔹Unite America, https://www.uniteamerica.org/
which focuses on #independent #redistricting, #primary #reform,
as well as #instant #runoff voting.

"Until #FPTP is replaced with a #Proportional voting system all "U"K🇬🇧 politics is just re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic and is largely a pointless waste of time & effort."
