🍒 Make All Votes Count DC. DC voters, if you see me, honk and wave. 👋🏾 I always have my clipboard 📋 handy, collecting signatures in all 8 wards for initiative 83 ballot access. Have I asked for your signature yet? #YESon83 #holdpoliticiansaccountable #letindependentsvote

Since my tweets are now being judged based on my outfit I figured it was time to update my pic to my latest power suit. 😘 #NewProfilePic

Today, joined by more than 50 fellow Commissioners, I sent a letter calling on the @councilofdc to reject the #InitiativeAmendmentAct as an attack on democracy… in a town that enjoys too little democracy as it is.
Write to your councilmember today. 🗣️

I oppose the bill to limit DC ballot initiatives.
You can make up a cost for nearly any initiative — and exaggerated costs are used to block change all the time.
DC residents already have a limited voice on the federal level. We need to protect our local democratic rights.
This Friday, a @councilofdc committee will consider the Initiative Amendment Act, which would severely constrain citizens' ability to propose ballot initiatives. This is an anti-democratic and cynical bill. The Council should not take away direct #democracy. How to oppose it: 1/3

These two will STILL have the power - they just can't even fathom allowing us to use an extra tool to pressure them. So glad @AllVotesCountDC is building off of the (not novel) legacy of the late Liz Davis (@WTUTeacher) and making clear that the people can legally pass laws too.
Very interesting bill here from Phil Mendelson and Anita Bonds: It bars the elections board from approving any ballot initiative that could be passed "subject to appropriations."
That's in response to the structure of I83, on RCV/open primaries:

I'm thrilled that the Make All Votes Count Act of 2024 has been deemed 'proper subject matter' by the @Vote4DC. I appreciate everyone who testified in the hearing earlier this week, both pro and con. This is how democracy works. Now ... let's get to work on the next phase.

When explaining RCV, either u use a good visual like this, OR just explain it from the VOTER PERSPECTIVE: "Vote for your favorite and rank your backup choices. If your first choice is in last place, your vote moves to your next choice. A candidates wins when they get >50%."
