Because even Civic Engagement Consultants need refreshers on core principles and structures. #Citizenship
Something NO ONE brings up in the Crystal Mason case (Tarrant County, TX) is that she was only able to vote illegally, because the system didn’t flag her as inelligible and election workers didn’t know she was doing so. No one, including Crystal, knew this.
THIS should be fixed.

TO RECAP: @GregAbbott_TX refused to fully fund public schools in the last session unless the #txlege also voted to approve school vouchers, which would’ve then taken away funding.
So, Abbott never really wanted to fund public schools and is now trying to blame others for that.
New: Abbott responds to Dems who called for a special session to bolster public ed funding. He says everyone who signed this letter "voted to kill" a school funding package "that would have achieved exactly what you seek."
Background on that vote: texastribune.org/2023/11/16/… #txlege

This is where broader levels of civic engagement & education could make a huge difference.
If people knew the civic process was valued highly enough that the public would come down on them severely for doing things like threatening elected officials, it would happen a lot less.
Threats on elected officials discourage them from speaking out on controversial issues. It’s damaging to democracy. bit.ly/3ShxjyR
It is one of our nation’s greatest tragedies that throughout history, we worked to find more ways to execute people than we have to find more ways for people to vote. #ThisIsAmerica

AI is poised to transform our democratic systems, for good and ill. So we're gathering researchers, policymakers, and everyday Nebraskans to discuss harnessing these emerging technologies and mitigating their risks. civicnebraska.org/20240123-a…
Imagine a world where voter turnout was incentivized as opposed to voter suppression. Time to get serious about representative government.
