Portland city council has just voted for the ordinances backing a strong, well-funded Clean Elections program!
Thank you to councilors @AnnaTrevorrow @Roberto_Rodrgz for your leadership these past weeks and councilor April Fournier who has been with us since day one
Glad to share Maine's #rankedchoicevoting experience in this important piece on election reform!
As told @dmontyjr: I strongly believe we have to be doing the structural work at the same time as we do the bread-and-butter voting rights work
“This is going to be a story of state-level transformation that fundamentally changes the dynamics of politics in the country and that results in federal change.” - @dsallentess
Great piece by @dmontyjr on the election reform movement. #VotersFirst

A bunch of people voted in Kansas today and now abortion access is protected in that state. Don't let people who spend too much time on the internet tell you that voting doesn't matter.
My piece in yesterday's Press Herald w/ @jmward23 on concrete steps we all can do to strengthen democracy
We’ve heard people feel powerless, overwhelmed, scared and demoralized by the events of the last few months. Calls to vote can ring hollow, but we can't give up. Here are ways that Mainers can strengthen democracy from our @PressHerald: pressherald.com/2022/08/02/m…

In times like this, people often hate hearing "go vote". But really what we mean by "vote" is "build political power", and yes, that is still the answer. 1/x

No, Indian Reservations aren’t going to become safe harbors for abortions. It sounds easy, but there’s hundreds of years of legal rulings that make basic survival on reservations damn near impossible! So start demanding more from your elected officials, not Indigenous Peoples!
Things I am researching today as a way to not just be scared:
1. The process for gender marker change on my birth certificate, passport, etc
2. Has anyone submitted legislation to ban tear gas in ME?

Four out of the five justices who struck down Roe today were appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote. Abolish the electoral college.
