SUMMARY:Spotlight Speaker: David Pepper\, Saving Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A warm welcome to David Pepper\, who is returning under the Tent. Join us as we speak to him about his new best-selling book\, Saving Democracy: The User’s Manual For Every American. The book provides a framework for all pro-democracy activists (us!) to better understand the steps to save our democracy.  As Pepper notes\, “we are seeing ever-growing awareness about the threat to democracy\, as well as emerging and successful best practices of how to fight back.” This book provides us the path to a more secure and vibrant democracy. \nBigTentUSA is thrilled to co-host this Spotlight Speaker Series with The New York Buddy Group (NYBG). The NYBG is a group of volunteer activists who raise awareness and support for pro-democracy grassroots organizers and candidates in critical elections throughout the country. They enhance the education of their community and increase electoral awareness\, action\, focus and impact.

SUMMARY:Tent Talk: The Fairness Project- Ohio’s Latest Power Grab
DESCRIPTION:We welcome Hannah Ledford Deputy Executive Director and Campaign Director for the Fairness Project. \nIn Latest Power Grab\, Ohio Senate Advances Anti-Democratic Supermajority Requirement for Ballot Measures. In the latest attack on direct democracy\, Ohio legislators on Wednesday voted to advance a supermajority threshold for future ballot measures\, co-opting a tactic being pushed by extremist officials in multiple states to limit voters’ decision-making power. \nAnti-abortion groups have been open about the fact that efforts to advance the supermajority threshold are intended to block a potential measure this November that would enshrine reproductive freedom in the state constitution. However\, if the threshold were to be raised to 60%\, it would impact all future ballot measures\, not just those related to abortion. \n\n\n\n\nIn response to repeated attacks on direct democracy\, including in states like South Dakota\, Arkansas\, Ohio and more\, the Fairness Project has been fighting to defend the ballot measure process and ensure citizens can use this critical tool for years to come. Since last year\, the Fairness Project has organized $5.6 million to fight back through its Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Fairness Project’s  Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign is working to protect the ballot measure process itself across the country. They are leading a strategic multi-state coalition to fight back using litigation\, legislative advocacy\, and ballot measure campaigns. Where they need to bring litigation\, they will litigate. Where they can stop bad laws from being passed\, they will run aggressive communications and lobbying campaigns to stop anti-democratic bills. And where the legislature refers suppressive measures to the ballot\, they will fight to win those ballot campaigns. Link for more information Here
