Join the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on September 12th at 1pm for a crucial conversation with philanthropic and nonprofit leaders on the front lines of direct democracy.

This webinar, moderated by Elizabeth DiLauro, Senior Policy Officer at RWJF, will discuss the growing threats to the ballot measure process—a vital tool of direct democracy that allows citizens to make progress on issues they care about. The panel will explore the current challenges facing ballot measure access, from legislative attempts to raise signature thresholds and restrict who can gather signatures, to efforts to overturn voter-approved measures.

You will hear from those who are actively working to protect this essential tool and learn about the innovative strategies being employed to defend the people’s voice.
