This upcoming Monday is a very sentimental day for us. Why? Because it marks the fifth anniversary of our very first ballot measure campaign wins!
In 2016, we secured our first set of ballot measure victories including minimum wage increases in Colorado, D.C., and Maine along with paid sick leave and minimum wage wins in Arizona and Washington.
Five years since we started our work fighting alongside working people in America is enough cause for celebration … but Monday also marks another important date. This Monday, we’ll officially be 1 year out from the 2022 midterms.
We’ve got a full slate of ballot measure campaigns heading into the new year and now more than ever is the time for us to pull together the necessary resources to create change in 2022 the same way we first did in 2016.
We’ll be running campaigns to put progressive issues on the ballot like expanding Medicaid, raising the minimum wage, providing paid leave, and ending the predatory practices of payday lenders. 2022 is set to be a BUSY year too because we’ll also be running our Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign to fight back against attacks on the ballot measure process.
The best way we can make sure we have the funds necessary to create change for working people across the country is to have a steady flow of resources coming in every month — starting now.
