Making Democracy Work

It’s hard to bring about change when the system is rigged against us. Many Americans are disillusioned by their inability to hear their voices reflected by their representation. To restore the promise of American democracy we must:

• Restore Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, making it more difficult for states to implement discriminatory voting laws.

• Get big money out of politics to reduce the influence of special interests and Washington insiders by working to overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision.

• Combat the myth of “voter fraud” being perpetuated by the Trump administration.

• Avoid gerrymandering by encouraging states to move to a bipartisan redistricting commission like we have here in California.
