Ohio became the 24th state to legalize recreational marijuana with the passage of #Issue2—but Senate Republicans in OH have done everything in their power to undermine the #WillOfThePeople by 'gutting the measure of its most important provisions.’ We must #DefendDirectDemocracy
Issue 2 contained provisions in recognition of Ohioans convicted for marijuana offenses. People directly impacted by pre-Issue 2 laws should also benefit from the legalization and monetization of this new system. The Senate GOP removed every single word. ow.ly/L7nf50Qgwgn

Ohio's legalization of recreational marijuana goes into effect, GOP proposes sweeping changes
While recreational marijuana is now legal in Ohio, the state GOP is proposing big changes to the law.
Billionaires and special interest groups shouldn’t control laws in Missouri. Protect the #WillOfThePeople and majority rule by supporting one person, one vote! #DefendDirectDemocracy
📢 #HJR86, a bill that would eliminate #MOMajorityRule is being debated on the floor NOW! Message your #MOLeg rep and tell them VOTE NO: bit.ly/VOTENOHJR86
Like our partners at @BBforUT said: "The ballot initiative process is fundamental to a democratic system and Better Boundaries will continue to work with voters and elected officials to safeguard the integrity of that process." 👏 #DefendDirectDemocracy
“The courts upheld Missourians’ constitutional right to #DirectDemocracy over the self-serving attacks of politicians desperately seeking to climb the political ladder." 👏 #DefendDirectDemocracy
The Missouri Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the Secretary of State’s appeal to reverse the lower court’s decision to strike and rewrite summary statements for six reproductive freedom ballot initiatives.

"As pro-choice activists rack up wins, Missouri lawmakers are ramping up their efforts to undermine the process in anticipation of reproductive rights ballot initiatives.” This is a blatantly undemocratic attempt to undermine the #WillOfThePeople. #DefendDirectDemocracy
Missouri anti-abortion advocates follow a strategy that failed in Ohio trib.al/Tz3AFHz
"Missourians hate these plans to end majority rule. These changes will result in making politicians even more powerful while making it harder for Missourians to have a say and go around a legislature that often ignores them." #MOMajorityRule #DefendDirectDemocracy
Despite the Senate agreeing to remove it, a House panel added back the "ballot candy" to #SJR74 as it advanced to the full House on Tuesday. #MOMajorityRule stltoday.com/news/local/gov…

Missouri House panel restores ‘ballot candy’ to constitutional amendment plan
The plan advanced Tuesday would ask voters to make constitutional amendments more difficult. But before that, voters would be asked about other things.
Voters see past these blatant attempts to overturn the #WillOfThePeople. In a recent poll, we found that only 11% of voters believe it’s appropriate for state lawmakers to change the rules of the ballot initiative process. #DefendDirectDemocracy
Did you know that 74% of voters believe #BallotMeasures serve as a good way for citizens to take action when their elected officials will not? Learn more by visiting our Ballot Measure Hub, where you can find BISC’s #DefendDirectDemocracy memo + more: ballot.org/ballot-hub/
In response, anti-choice politicians across the country have been attacking the #BallotInitiative process and trying to undermine the #WillOfThePeople. We won't let them win. So get in, loser. Let's #DefendDirectDemocracy!
For our 2024 Staff Spotlight Series, we asked BISC staff what they're most excited about for 2024! 🤩 Gina Berne said that she's "looking forward to fighting back against attempts to restrict access to the ballot in 2024." #DefendDirectDemocracy
“The purpose and the intent is to intimidate and dissuade people from participating in the democratic process. And while this is alarming, this should actually reenergize and reinvigorate people to continue participating.” - @Fieldsy 🗳️ #DefendDirectDemocracy
"Ohio shows us that when you put issues on the ballot that are widely popular and people want to see action on, that is highly motivating, regardless of party affiliation.” - @Fieldsy Read the full article now: prospect.org/politics/2024-… #DefendDirectDemocracy
OH is the latest power grab from to undermine the will of the people. Conservatives fear what happens when the People decide to protect reproductive rights, healthcare, raise wages & more. Thanks to @ShannonNajma & @Kris_Maher for sounding the alarm. #DefendDirectDemocracy
In some GOP-led states, legislators want to make it harder for voters to amend state constitutions, as fights play out over abortion access and other issues. w/ @ShannonNajma wsj.com/articles/state…
We won't let them win. We will continue to #DefendDirectDemocracy and ensure that we the people can use the people's tool to pass the policies that affect our everyday lives.

"Confronted with angry citizens grappling with the post-Roe chaos, Republican trifecta states are merely doubling down on enacting as many obstacles as they can to derail ballot measures before anyone gets to vote on them.” #DefendDirectDemocracy
In the Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court explicitly ruled that “the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” In Florida, public officials are working hard to make sure the people don't get that chance. prospect.org/health/2024-01…
That’s why they are using confusing language like ‘a majority of a majority’, manipulating statistics, and even trying to add illegal ballot candy to trick Missouri voters. Voters aren't stupid. We won't allow our rights to be taken from us. #DefendDirectDemocracy
Extremist politicians don’t like real Missourians making decisions, so they want to rewrite the rules. Our partners in Missouri are fighting today to keep the power with the people, not the politicians, and leave majority rule in place! #moleg #DefendDirectDemocracy
As we celebrate these victories and prepare for 2024, our work is clear: We must #DefendDirectDemocracy and the Will of the People. We must implement voter-approved initiatives. We must build off these victories as we move towards equity, justice, and freedom for all.

Gina Moore explains the origin of our #DefendDirectDemocracy campaign & the coordinated attacks on the People's Tool. "In 2021 there were a record number of ballot measure attacks — 146. When we use the tools of our democracy & use them well it instills fear in our opposition."
📚️GREAT READS: 📚️ BISC’s Policy and Legal Advocacy Director, Sarah Walker, was quoted in a piece from @statesnewsroom on how biased language is the hot new tactic to thwart #BallotMeasures. #DefendDirectDemocracy
Ballot measures put power in the people’s hands to demand a democracy free from white supremacy. They offer us an opportunity to experiment and reimagine. BISC is working hard to #DefendDirectDemocracy. Whatever we dream for our democracy is worth creating together.
🚨 ALERT: South Dakota's Supreme Court rules against South Dakotans. 🚨 After gaining the support of 54% of South Dakota’s voters in 2020, South Dakota's Supreme Court voted to nullify the state measure that would have legalized recreational cannabis use. #DefendDirectDemocracy
