When Congress fails to act in the best interests of working people across America, we employ ballot measure campaigns to get the job done.
Just this week, Democrats cut paid family leave from the Build Back Better spending package in order to get the whole party on board. Without this national paid family leave policy, the U.S. will continue to be just one of six countries without any form of national policy and one of eight without national maternity leave.
The Build Back Better package is not a unique circumstance. In these hyper-partisan times, petty politics and gridlock have stopped meaningful legislation from being passed no matter the Administration. That’s why ballot measures are such an important part of our democracy.
When Congress can’t act, ballot measures have allowed voters to take the power back into their own hands. We’ve won 20 of the 21 ballot measure campaigns we’ve worked on, can you rush a donation before tomorrow’s fundraising deadline to help us win more campaigns and keep fighting for working people in America?
