On Friday, the Panel filed our own ballot question committee with the Arkansas Ethics Commission — for the first time in our history — to educate Arkansas voters about the threat Issue 2 poses to our democracy.
Issue 2 threatens Arkansas voters' constitutional right to tell politicians what to do through ballot measures. It would end the right to pass citizen-driven ballot measures with a 50% majority vote, raising it to a 60% vote requirement instead.
For more than 100 years, Arkansans have used ballot measures to pass laws to help our communities. But now, some politicians and big special interests are trying to end that by proposing Issue 2.
We are sharing informational flyers with voters about the threat from Issue 2 (download yours here), knocking on doors to talk to neighbors, holding town halls to educate voters, registering new voters and more.
We need your help! We formed a coalition with lots of great partners to fight Issue 2 – Protect AR Rights. On our website you can learn more about the dangers of Issue 2, volunteer to help educate your neighbors and community, and you can make a donation to help us reach more voters.
Please pitch in what you can today, and thank you!
