Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, discusses the 2.5 Project, an initiative by BISC that provides early, flexible funding to support ballot initiatives focused on economic justice. Recent efforts in Nebraska and Missouri to support minimum wage and paid sick leave ballot initiatives yielded positive results, demonstrating the ability to frame the issues and collaborate with related efforts, such as reproductive rights measures.
We talk about:
- The differences between political candidate campaigns and ballot initiatives
- Importance of local coalitions
- Need for ongoing communication to drive civic engagement and education about the potential impact of ballot initiatives
- Ballot initiative trends and coordination across states
