I have a book coming out this week — it’s called “Democracy Vouchers: How bringing money into politics can get money out of politics."
We don't have to accept that money will always rule politics: We can fight back.

The advances in #AI can be scary, especially in the context of #Election2024. Compelling #deepfakes, highly targeted fraudulent messages, they're a likely future for #voters. But our team's Democracy & AI Director shares an important reminder in @HuffPost: https://t.co/NLACTS7aqo

Los Angeles elections are expensive, and this money distorts city politics. We’ve just published a new report about this problem, and what Los Angeles can do to solve it. Check it out here: https://t.co/BoznfzXgiV
These images say so much.
In LA, a place of such diversity, city campaign contributions overwhelmingly come from the least diverse areas.
That has real impacts on who runs for office, who gets elected and whose needs get prioritized. But there’s a lot we can do about it! 🧵

It was such a pleasure to work with @TomLatkowski@DemocracyPolicy & @t1international on this #publicpharma state policy toolkit! Take a look, send us your questions, ask your state to join the movement, & let's create a public interest market for meds! https://t.co/eIUgwGsvhz
NEW: Oakland voters adopted an innovative "democracy dollars" program, vouchers that can be donated to city candidates, as part of a sweeping Fair Elections measure. Campaigners in other cities are eyeing the results for similar efforts.

Today, DPN alongside the @DemocracyCollab and @t1international, has released our Public Pharmaceuticals policy kit—an open resource for legislators, advocates, and citizens to learn how states can publicly manufacture and distribute pharmaceuticals: https://t.co/907w0jQ6Mn
Excited to share @DemocracyPolicy's latest state policy kit, on Public Pharmaceuticals. The market for meds is often broken — and public enterprise can help, like it has in various states across the country in recent history and in various countries around the world today.
“With #DemocracyVouchers, our elections will be funded by regular people, not just by wealthy donors and special interests. That’s what we’ve seen in Seattle — donors that are more reflective of the city,” says @TomLatkowski.
