Beyond Shir Tikvah
Pursue justice by strengthening democracy — before it’s too late. Justice of all sorts -- social, racial, food, climate -- depends on a functioning democracy. But ours is busted -- including our electoral processes. Are you concerned about what will happen if Howard Schultz runs as an independent? Still mad at Ralph Nader for "splitting the vote" for Gore? Do you think it’s crazy that 61% of Fall River voters ousted the mayor who was then voted back into office with a 35% plurality win in a 5-person race? We can fix this problem with ranked choice voting (RCV). Momentum for RCV in Massachusetts is heating up. Will you step up to help build undeniable political pressure for RCV? On June 4th from 6:30 to 8:30, come join a call party at Sherry Reisner’s house in Arlington. We’ll get you ready to make calls to known RCV supporters reminding them to contact their legislators about the current RCV bills at the State House. (That’s another thing you can do, too!) Contact sreisner@me.com for details and to learn what else you can do.
