Thanks to @TheDCSentinel podcast for having me on today to discuss my experience (& various funny bizness) at the #DNC2020 Rules Committee last week. Check it out:
.@TheDemocrats need to take a strong stand against voter suppression and must foster in a new generation of leaders... not just follow the orders of their corporate donors #NotMeUs
One great way to expand voter participation is to ensure elections are accessible to older adults, people with disabilities and families with children, as I proposed in my amendment to the #DNC2020 Rules Committee that was voted down 148 to 15

ICYMI: @Illinois4Bernie founder @TheShanaEast was on @StatusCoup to discuss #DNC2020 shenanigans at the Rules Committee meeting last week. Please share! #Election2020 #1u #twill #NotMeUs
We broke that @BernieSanders camp asked supporters on @DNC rules committee 2 drop their proposals bc Sanders @JoeBiden had struck deal 2 keep superdelegates on 2nd ballot in 2024.
Bernie-supporting rules committee member @TheShanaEast says the movement has been co-opted (thread)
