Big Money in Alaska Politics With Jeff Clements and the Alaskans for Better Elections Ballot Initiative

Organizer: American Promise

Alaska is well on its way to being the 21st state calling for a constitutional amendment to get Big Money out of politics. The Alaskans For Better Elections campaign is officially on the state ballot, and in November, Alaskans – right, left, and center – will ensure the will of the people is heard on this crucial issue.

Join the call and hear from American Promise President Jeff Clements on the importance of enabling local control of election spending, and how a Yes vote on ballot question 2 gets us closer to this goal. Also on the call will be Paula DeLaiarro, an Alaskan expert on campaign finance and disclosure.

Citizen Leaders Book Club with Elaine Weiss

Organizer: American Promise

In this edition of our quarterly Citizen Leaders Book Club, we'll be celebrating both Constitution Day and the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment with author Elaine Weiss! In her latest book, "The Woman's Hour," Weiss examines the decades-long suffragist movement that led to the 19th Amendment and women gaining the right to vote. (Importantly, suffrage for women of color is owing to the work and leadership of suffragists of color that continued well after the 19th Amendment.) In our conversation, we'll discuss the suffragist movement's successes and shortcomings and the inspiration and lessons we, as Americans, can use to form a more perfect union today.
