Thank you @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social for leading the charge on funding semi-open primaries, so that independents can finally be included in DC's most important elections!!

What a shame that the amendment @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social just offered to implement the semi-open primaries component of Initiative 83 did not pass. 73% of voters made their will known. Shame on those who voted no! #letindependentsvote #YESon83

On July 14, the Council voted to fund ranked choice voting. 🎉 We're halfway there. The DC Council must fully fund Initiative 83. Semi-open primaries will let DC's 84,000 independents vote in our taxpayer-funded primaries. Write or call your CMs this week. Demand their YES vote on July 28. #YESon83

This was me, a little over a year ago, dressed in suffragette white, wearing a sandwich board stating: I CANNOT VOTE TODAY ASK ME WHY. As a registered unaffiliated (independent) voter, I'm barred from voting in DC's taxpayer-funded primary elections. 73% of voters here want to change that. 1/2

Without full implementation of i83, the 18% of DC voters that are unaffiliated to any party will remain locked out of participation in primary elections that their taxes pay for. #letindependentsvote #respectdc #enact83 #growdemocracy @allvotescountdc.bsky.social

We've seen a lot of buzz around the controversial results of the Ward 8 Special Election. We just clinched Ranked Choice Voting for DC elections starting next June, but how could it have helped in this week's election? We break it down here!

These 8 DC Councilmembers voted to fund the Ranked Choice Voting portion of Initiative 83! Here's a snippet of what they had to say about it Please thank these CMs for their support, and encourage them to also fund semi-open primaries which would allow independents to vote in DC primary elections!

Politicians in DC think the system that elected them works just fine. DC respectfully disagrees.

For those keeping track, the cost to implement DC's landslide-winning Initiative 83 is $1.3 million over 4 years, yet the Council Chair and Mayor say there may not be funds available. But ... they've found $1.5 million for a riser. Things that make you go ... hmmm. 🤔 www.axios.com/local/washin...

The rising cost comes at a time when many city Dems don't even plan to attend Trump II.
