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: huffpost.com/entry/artificia…
ALT This graphic quotes Josh Lawson in HuffPost as saying, "Voters should know these tools exist, but also that the facts still matter and that the truth is knowable. That is extremely important. We know that bad actors want to erode our confidence in truth, and the knowability of facts."

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! 🧵

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.

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.
