YES! @jonfavs and @danpfeiffer talked about #whystatesmatter on @PodSaveAmerica. Listen up around min 22 for key points, like how state legislatures pass laws on issues we care about (healthcare, schools, voting rights, the environment) & which states are close to flipping.https://twitter.com/PodSaveAmerica/status/1054484709705572352 …
Highlights: GOP controls both the state house & state senate in 31 states but the Democrats can flip several chambers this fall. When Democrats have majorities, they can control redistricting & avoid partisan gerrymandering. They can also put policies in place that improve lives.
Examples: Medicaid expansion in VA, which the House of Delegates passed after flipping 15 seats red-to-blue in '17, coming within 1 seat of a majority. Also Washington's automatic voter registration, passed after @Dhingrama won a state senate seat that flipped the majority.
And as @danpfeiffer points out, voting laws are determined at the state level. You want same-day registration, vote by mail, more early vote days, more polling places, all the things that ensure more people vote? Elect progressive majorities.
In short, we loved hearing the Pod's breakdown of #whystatesmatter. We could not agree more. Want to get involved in state work? Learn more about Future Now Fund and Giving Circles:https://twitter.com/FutureNowUSA/status/1053380737142087681 …
